Chinese gatecrashers at US bases raise espionage concerns -WSJ
Chinese nationals, sometimes posing as tourists, have accessed military bases and sensitive sites in the U.S. as many as 100 times in recent years, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing U.S. officials who described the incidents as potential espionage threats.
The Defense Department, FBI and other agencies held a review last year to try to limit these incidents that involved gatecrashers because of their attempts to get into U.S. military bases without proper authorization, the WSJ report said.
The gatecrashers ranged from Chinese nationals found crossing into a U.S. missile range in New Mexico to scuba divers swimming in murky waters near a U.S. government rocket launch site in Florida, according to the report.
