The US Justice Department is pursuing the revocation of citizenship for Jinchao Wei, a former Navy sailor, and Ping Li, a Florida resident, both convicted of offenses connected to China. Wei was convicted of spying for China, while Li conspired to act as an agent of Beijing. These cases are part of a larger effort, involving 40 individuals, to denaturalize people during the Trump administration. The DOJ announced the actions on Monday, framing it as the largest group of such filings. Currently, these are civil proceedings, meaning no liability has been determined. The department’s actions signal a heightened scrutiny of individuals with ties to Beijing and a willingness to pursue denaturalization as a consequence.
