“were confronted by a sergeant major of the Utah National Guard in August 2023 after midnight near a lake at Camp Grayling, according to a criminal complaint”
This is alarming, and you know this sort of thing is happening at other schools where people have not been caught.

Chinese University of Michigan students charged after allegedly spying on military base
Five former University of Michigan students have been charged after they were caught allegedly covering up spying on a National Guard training center in Michigan for the People’s Republic of China (PRC) while a training operation with the Taiwanese military was taking place.
The former students, all Chinese nationals, were confronted by a sergeant major of the Utah National Guard in August 2023 after midnight near a lake at Camp Grayling, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court Oct. 1.
They told the sergeant major they were with the media photographing a meteor shower and believed they were in a campground. They then took their belongings and left.
But four months later, one of the men, Renxiang Guan, was interviewed by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officers at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport before traveling to South Korea and China.
He told investigators he and others had taken a trip to northern Michigan to see shooting stars, but he was unable to recall where they went.
CBP officers then searched his electronic devices and found images of the Grayling Military Installation, including military vehicles and other equipment. The data from an external hard drive showed the photographs had been taken during the time that live firing exercises were taking place, around two hours before the sergeant major encountered the students.
The other four men were interviewed in March after arriving in Chicago on a flight from Iceland. They told investigators they too were in northern Michigan in August 2023, but it was to see a meteor shower, according to court documents citing the FBI.

Too bad. Sweet Meteor of Death for you!
Speaking of which, after 72 years, I was finally able to cross “naked-eye comet” off my bucket list tonight. Catch it in the western sky just after sunset before the show is over. It’s YUGE (well, long, anyway).
Joe will let them go, apologize and give them 1.2M$ each…
“It’s time for universities to step up security and accountability.”
Sounds like a recipe for allowing the openly bitter, jealous chicken who lays few eggs to stand watch at night, expecting she’ll raise the alarm rather than happily allow the fox inside.
The correct recipe is referenced in the article: National Guard, CBP, etc. doing their jobs. All of us taking on opsec and not allowing the Left’s fear tactics to keep us from using good sense in profiling the enemy within our gates.
Quite some years ago I attended a class on Oracle administration. There was a very nice young lady from PRC in the class. I recall wondering why in blazes US is allowing these people into the country to learn OUR technology. Sometimes the profit motive *is* excessive and short-sighted. Reminds me of Lenin’s (may his soul rot and burn) prediction: The Capitalists will sell us the rope that we will use to hang them.
March them at bayonet-point to an airport served by China Southern, China Eastern, or any other Red China based airline for the next non-stop back to the mainland. Make the airline absorb the cost of transporting them.
