BEIJING — Chinese diplomats have been informed of the arrest of a Chinese woman at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club over the weekend and are providing her with consular services, the Foreign Ministry said Thursday.

Spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters that the Chinese Consulate General in Houston had been notified of the March 30 arrest, had gotten in touch with the person involved and was providing her with consular assistance. Geng gave no details.

Yujing Zhang is being held on charges of illegal entering and lying to U.S. agents.

Court documents allege 32-year-old Zhang told a Secret Service agent Saturday she was a Mar-a-Lago member there to use the pool. Agents were later summoned and they say Zhang began arguing during an interview.

If trump can’t secure Mar a Lago the vacation spot/ White House home away from home for trump in Florida, from a Chinese national spying for China, what makes anyone believe that a wall or shutting the Southern border will stop those coming to America illegally from coming in.

For decades, China has been sending spies and moles to the West including the US trying to collect secrets to send back to China. They send spies in the guise of students and immigrants. They steal technology, defense secrets, business/corporate strategic plans, etc.
Trump does not understand and embrace protecting America's secrets. To Trump, it's all about making money and China has lots of it. The event of this Chinese woman breaching security protocols was due largely because of Trump. The Secret Service said the president sets the standards on who can enter/leave the resort premises.

Trump is a danger to America. He continues to destroy the US from within. His supporters are giving him the reigns to destroy this country.
