who is now at the center of the SignalGate Scandal, was directly tie to the CCP & the People’s Liberation Army of China via his 23 year long career with AsiaSat, the leading Satellite solutions provider in Asia. AsiaSat Holdings is jointly owned by Chinese state-owned CITIC Limited and private equity fund The Carlyle Group.
AsiaSat is essentially partially owned by the CCP as a state owned entity in China.
Dr. Ya-Hui Chiu, Alex Wong’s father in law, was a key figure in the early development of AsiaSat. He joined the company in 1989 and played a pivotal role in its technical operations, according to records I uncovered.
As a senior technical overseer of AsiaSat, Chiu managed all aspects of the launches of AsiaSat 1, AsiaSat 2, AsiaSat 3S, AsiaSat 4, and AsiaSat 5, while also supervising the maintenance and operation of the company’s satellite fleet. AsiaSat, Asia’s first privately owned satellite company, has provided communication services that reportedly support Chinese military units and enterprises owned by the Chinese military, raising questions about its broader geopolitical implications.
Chiu’s personal ties extend into U.S. national security circles: he is the father of Candace Chiu Wong, who is married to Alex Wong, the current Deputy National Security Advisor under the Trump administration. This familial connection has drawn attention to AsiaSat’s operations, particularly given its ownership structure. In 1990, the China International Trust and Investment Corporation (CITIC), a Chinese state-owned investment firm wholly controlled by the Chinese government, acquired a significant stake in AsiaSat. CITIC’s involvement underscores the company’s ties to Beijing, amplifying concerns about the potential overlap between its commercial activities and Chinese state interests, including military communications.
While AsiaSat has operated as a commercial entity serving the Asia-Pacific region, its satellite fleet’s role in facilitating Chinese military communications—combined with CITIC’s ownership—places it at the intersection of technological innovation and strategic influence for the CCP.
Dr. Chiu’s tenure, spanning critical launches and operational milestones, highlights his instrumental role during a period when AsiaSat solidified its position in the satellite industry, even as its services extended to state-linked clients. The overlap between Chiu’s employment, AsiaSat’s ownership, and its high-profile familial links in the U.S. should have resulted in more scrutiny by the Trump admin during the vetting process of Alex Wong, who works as the Trump appointed, Deputy National Security advisor under National Security Director

I have been told by sources that
@SenTomCotton
is the individual who helped Alex Wong ascend the ladder in Trump world. Why didn’t Senator Tom Cotton do any vetting if he’s such a China Hawk? How come it took my own independent investigation to figure this out?
The vetting crisis continues to worsen.
Dr. Ya-Hui Chiu retired from AsiaSat in 2012 and passed away in 2016.
Alex Wong has been working with President Trump since the first Trump administration in 2017, and he was on the Signal Chat which
@JeffreyGoldberg
was added to. Alex Wong was the deputy assistant secretary for North Korea in the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs from 2017 to 2021.
Many believe that Alex Wong is the person who set the Signal Chat up and added
@TheAtlantic
to the secure chat.
How is it that Alex Wong’s father in law’s ties to the CCP were not reviewed or disclosed to the public before he was given access to classified information?
Don’t forget, Alex’s wife is a US Attorney for the District of Columbia.
