NEW DELHI: The US intelligence officials have blown the lid off a high-profile honey-trap mission carried out by a Chinese woman to target several top politicians, including mayors and a Congressman, according to a report by Axios.
The suspected Chinese intelligence operative developed close ties with several local and national politicians between 2011 and 2015 to gain proximity to political power, the report revealed, quoting current and former US intelligence officials as well as one former elected official.
