Alleged Chinese spies are suspected of infiltrating U.S. military bases in Alaska under the guise of lost tourists. This revelation follows a recent incident where a Chinese fighter jet acted aggressively towards a U.S. aircraft, raising tensions and questions about the strategies in place to counter China’s influence. 

Key Points: 

1. Chinese citizens, believed to be spies for the Communist Chinese Party, have reportedly gained access to U.S. military bases in Alaska on multiple occasions, claiming to be lost tourists.
2. In one instance, a car driven by Chinese individuals passed security checkpoints and entered a base in Fairbanks, where a drone was found in their possession.
3. These incidents are believed to be efforts to gather intelligence on U.S. military capabilities in Alaska.
4. Tensions have escalated recently after a Chinese fighter jet flew directly in front of a U.S. plane over the South China Sea in an event deemed “unnecessarily aggressive” by the Pentagon.
5. Despite the increasing Chinese influence, high-level meetings between U.S. and U.K. officials have not produced a clear strategy to counter it.
6. The incidents involving supposed tourists in Alaska remain largely classified, but it is suspected that these individuals may have had ulterior motives, possibly related to espionage.
