Waterloo Student Accused in U.S. Spy Probe | Canada News
Description
A University of Waterloo student, Weiheng Zeng, is facing U.S. federal charges after allegedly taking paid photos of aircraft at airports in Chicago and Toronto, claiming he was directed by someone he thought was tied to Chinese security services. His sister fiercely denies the espionage claims, calling him a harmless aviation enthusiast with autism, and even made a viral social media jab comparing his alleged status to an absurd political claim. The case remains under investigation, with the Chinese Embassy rejecting any notion of a “China spy threat,” while experts suggest Zeng may have been a “co-optee” rather than a full operative. He’s currently in custody awaiting his next court date.
