Zhang's Instagram page also shows curated photos of her in designer clothing, dining at expensive restaurants, taking trips around the US and Canada, and shopping at luxury stores, CBS reported.
与中国的联系及监视任务根据CBS的报道，张曾就读于由中国国家安全部主管的北京国际关系大学。
Contact with China and surveillance missionsAs per CBS, Zhang studied at the University of International Relations in Beijing, which is run by the Chinese Ministry of State Security.
中国外交部也因“从大学大规模招聘”而闻名，FBI反间谍特别特工凯文·霍尔特在对张的投诉中这样表示。张在美国期间也参与了华裔美国人的倡导团体和活动，但正是她参与全美华人协会使她与中国政府官员保持了密切接触。全美华人协会被贴上了与北京政府关系密切的标签，并在美国根据《外国代理人登记法》登记为中国共产党的影响机构。
The Chinese ministry is also known for "heavily recruiting" from the university, said FBI counterintelligence special agent Kevin Holt in a complaint against Zhang. During her time in the US, Zhang also became involved with advocacy groups and events for Chinese-Americans, but it was her involvement in the All American Chinese Association which brought her in close contact with officials in the Chinese government. The AACA has been labelled as a group close to the Beijing government and ised in the US under the Foreign Agents Registration Act as an influence arm of the Chinese Communist Party.
2025年，检察官指控张在1月访问中国后完全接受了她作为中国特工的角色。访华两个月后，据报道张被要求监视一位公开反对北京的台湾官员。2025年6月晚些时候，张再次访问北京，据报道她被要求开始监视台湾总统的儿子。房地产经纪人的“令人毛骨悚然”的短信暴露了中国监视台湾总统儿子的企图。赖廷宇是美国的一名工程师，也是台湾总统赖清德的儿子。
In 2025, prosecutors have alleged that Zhang had fully embraced her role as a Chinese agent after a visit to China in January. Two months after her visit, Zhang was reportedly asked to spy on a Taiwanese official who spoke out against Beijing. Later in June 2025, Zhang visited Beijing again, where she was reportedly asked to start surveilling the Taiwanese president's son.realtor's 'creepy' texts expose China's bid to spy on Taiwan President’s sonLai Ting-Yu is an engineer in the US and the son of Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te.
