Fang Fang and the APAPA Connection | US News

A newly declassified FBI probe reveals Fang Fang, a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, used the nonprofit APAPA to cultivate political ties—most notably with former Rep. Eric Swalwell, whom she reportedly had casual physical encounters with before his election. The FBI also uncovered similar relationships with other Midwest officials, including an Ohio mayor caught on surveillance. Though APAPA denies any official role for Fang and insists its mission is community empowerment, the group’s leadership faces scrutiny over alleged links to China’s United Front. Despite leaving the U.S. in 2015 under suspicion, neither Swalwell nor APAPA faced charges or formal action from ethics bodies.
