Terrifying news on Monday as it was revealed that Alexander Yuk Ching Ma, a CIA officer was just revealed to be a Chinese spy! He has been charged with espionage after working for China right under our noses for 38 years. It’s hard to believe that Ma has been able to hide his motives for so long and this just brings demand for a thorough investigation within our own government.
In 1982, Ma was hired by the CIA as a Case Officer and was assigned overseas in Asia. In that position, he held “Top Secret” and “Sensitive Compartmentalized Information” security clearances. That meant he had access to pretty much all CIA covert operative identities, identities of clandestine sources, details of sensitive intelligence collection operations and methods, and details of ongoing intelligence operations and the targets thereof. Ma had training in every aspect of CIA intelligence-gathering techniques, and techniques to detect and defeat counter-intelligence efforts of foreign adversaries targeted against him and any sources connected to him. Pretty much everything the CIA does inside China, Ma had information about.
Ma quit the CIA in 1989 without explanation and took up residence in Shanghai, China. At some point thereafter, Ma was approached by Chinese Intelligence about working for them back in the United States, and Ma agreed. In 2000, Ma sought entry into the United States in Honolulu, declaring that he had been living in China for more than five years. He stated he was in the “import-export” business and had $9,000 in US Currency with him. – source RedSate.
Recorded evidence found as Ma accepts $50,000 from Chinese Intelligence Officers in March 2001. Just five days ago the spy was able to receive even more money has a token of appreciation from PRC (People’s Republic of China). He expressed that he wanted China to succeed and thus would promise his cooperation with the Chinese government. Little did he know an FBI agent had been surveilling him while undercover.
Beginning in January 2019, the FBI began an undercover operation targeting Ma. The undercover agent met with Ma, posing as a Chinese intelligence agent in Hawaii, and showed Ma the video of his March 2001 meeting in the Hong Kong hotel room to convince Ma he worked for Chinese Intelligence. The undercover agent explained that Chinese intelligence was reviewing the manner in which he had been treated during the years he was providing classified information, whether he had been fairly compensated for what he provided, and if there was a basis for doing work together again. There were numerous meetings after that, with Ma providing a significant amount of detailed information to the undercover agent about the instructions he had been given and what he had done.– source RedSate.
Ma had planned to continue his espionage for china receiving a final $2,000 as a sign of appreciation from Chinese Intelligence at his final meeting. Finally arrested he may be facing life in prison, which let’s be honest seems too kind. Things seem to be getting too close for comfort from China, this is a sign that action needs to be taken. We cannot sit around and allow spies to infiltrate our government or even our personal lives any longer.
