๐จ CCP Funded Chinese Nationals Busted Smuggling โCrop-Destroying Super Fungusโ into U.S. in a Plot to Destroy our Food Supply
โข The smuggling attempt occurred in July 2024, but the case was JUST publicly disclosed today.
โข The two Chinese nationals, Yunqing Jian (33) and Zunyong Liu (34), were charged by the DOJ for attempting to smuggle โFusarium graminearumโ, an extremely dangerous fungus, through Detroit Metropolitan Airport, hidden in plastic baggies inside Liuโs backpack.
โข Yunqing Jian, one of the two Chinese nationals charged in this case, worked at the University of Michigan, where she was a postdoctoral fellow at the universityโs Molecular Plant-Microbe Laboratory.
โโ Her boyfriend, Zunyong Liu, was planning to use its laboratory facilities for research on the smuggled โFusarium graminearumโ fungus, and potentially releasing it into the United States.
โโ Liu conducts research on the SAME pathogen at a university in China.
โข Liu initially LIED but later admitted to the smuggling; Jianโs electronics revealed they had direct financial funding ties to the Chinese Communist Party
โข Both came into the US under the Biden Administration and now face charges of conspiracy, smuggling goods, making false statements, and visa fraud.
โข Jian was arrested and appeared in federal court in Detroit on June 3, 2025; Liu was denied entry to the U.S. and remains AT LARGE, likely fleeing to China.
