Part 2/14:
Chen, 38, residing in Oregon, arrived in the U.S. in 2015 and became a lawful permanent resident, though he was only recruited by Chinese intelligence years after his initial arrival. Lie, 39, entered Texas earlier this year under a tourist visa, ostensibly for business, but was later identified as actively supervising clandestine operations for China's Ministry of State Security (MSS). Investigations revealed that Lie orchestrated the spying campaign and had been developing Chen as an asset since mid-2021.
