Islamabad : Monitoring Desk – A bewildered adminstration of US has arrested a Chinese student and labelled him as the spy while the court has not found him guilty so far. A 21-year-old Chinese national studying aeronautical engineering at the University of Glasgow got busted by the FBI. The case has been designed for illegally photographing top-secret U.S. military aircraft at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
The charge sheet states , the student “Tianrui Liang” targeted sensitive assets including the E-4B \u201cDoomsday Plane\u201d \u2014 the airborne nuclear command post designed to survive an all-out attack \u2014 and RC-135 reconnaissance variants. Offutt serves as headquarters for U.S. Strategic Command, the nerve center overseeing America\u2019s nuclear forces.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Liang used a telescopic lens from his car on March 31, then tried to slip out of the country. FBI agents nabbed him April 7 at JFK Airport as he boarded a flight back to Glasgow via Frankfurt. He admitted knowing the photography was illegal but claimed the shots were just for his \u201cpersonal collection.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Americans has tried best to prove the student a spy. The case details further as , this is no innocent plane-spotting hobby. It\u2019s a blatant intelligence-gathering run straight out of Beijing\u2019s playbook, exploiting America\u2019s open universities and weak borders to steal military secrets.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Trump’s side shares on social media about the matter , While weak leadership obsesses over diversity quotas and endless foreign student visas, adversaries like China send operatives to map our defenses.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Time to wake up: Shut down the spy pipeline, enforce real vetting, and treat national security like it actually matters. Enough with the naive \u201cacademic exchange\u201d excuses that put American lives at risk.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
