Shenghua Wen, 41, is a Chinese National living illegally in California. He was arrested and charged with “conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.” Those are fancy legal terms that mean Wen attempted to ship weapons to North Korea. How did an illegal resident of California come to ship weapons to any country in the first place?
“A review of Wen’s iPhone revealed to law enforcement that in December 2023, Wen smuggled items from Long Beach to Hong Kong with their destination being North Korea. Messages retrieved from Wen’s cellphones revealed discussions he had earlier this year with co-conspirators about shipping military-grade equipment to North Korea. Some of these messages include photographs that Wen sent of items controlled for export under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. From January to April, Wen sent emails and text messages to a U.S.-based broker about obtaining a civilian plane engine. There also were several text messages on Wen’s iPhone concerning price negotiation for the plane and its engine.
Wen is a Chinese national who is illegally in the United States after overstaying his student visa and is therefore prohibited from possessing any firearms or ammunition. Wen lacks the required licenses from the U.S. government to export ammunition, firearms, and the other devices that law enforcement seized at his home to North Korea.” US Attorney’s office
 A Chinese National spy who planned to ship weapons to North Korea?
The DOJ seized 50,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition from Wen’s residence. Back in August, they also seized a “chemical threat identification device and a hand-held broadband receiver that detects eavesdropping devices.” On his I-Phone, investigators learned that he smuggled items from Long Beach to Hong Kong, with the final destination as North Korea. Wen also attempted to purchase a civilian airplane engine and plane itself -his text messages included “negotiations” for prices on those things.
Who is this guy? Wen was in the US on a student visa that was only valid from 2012-2013, but did not leave when his visa expired. He faces 20 years in Federal prison. It is unclear what he was supposedly studying. Perhaps how to be a spy, or how to circumvent American laws in order to ship weapons to a sanctioned adversary?
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
