The Ministry of Justice also pointed out in the statement that it has prosecuted four Chinese citizens for concealing their connection with the Chinese People's Liberation Army when applying for visas. The government has arrested three of them, and the remaining one is in the Chinese Embassy in San Francisco.
The Assistant Attorney General for National Security Affairs of the United States Department of Justice John Demers said that when three PLA personnel applied for visas to the United States for research, they concealed their relationship with the military.
He said: "This is another part of the Chinese Communist Party's plan to use our open society and teaching institutions."
