Stuff that runs under the radar about China’s incursions against the United States gets weirder by the day. If not spy balloons or buying up American farmland, there is smuggling bioweapons and a twist on human trafficking.

Looks like there was a baby farm in Arcadia, CA.

Surrogate mothers who gave birth to children for an Arcadia couple are looking for answers after the pair were recently accused of neglect and 21 children and babies were removed from their home.

On May 7, Arcadia Police Department officers responded to a local hospital for a report of a 2-month-old child with significant head trauma, according to Arcadia Police Department Lt. Kollin Cieadlo. Officers confirmed that the child had apparently been shaken, dropped or went through a traumatic incident.

Detectives responded to a home in the 600 block of West Camino Real Avenue and discovered there were 15 other children inside the residence, Cieadlo said.

Six other kids were not at home at the time, were eventually located and placed into protective custody. That’s a total of 21 children, ages 2 months to 13 years old. The majority of those children are between 1 to 3 years old.

It appears all these children were born of surrogates through the surrogacy agency, Mark Surrogacy Investment, which, coincidentally, was run out of the home of this couple.

Several women told KTLA they bore children for Silvia Zhang and contracted with Mark Surrogacy Investment.

Public records show Zhang is listed as manager for Mark Surrogacy and her residence on the 600 block of West Camino Real Avenue is the same address for the company. An agent for the company filed a document with the state ending the company on June 13. Zhang is also listed as a manager for another defunct company called Hope Surrogacy in Pomona.

Zhang, 38, and her husband, Guojun Xuan, 65, couldn’t be reached for comment on Wednesday.

Now under investigation by state and federal officials, the full story on this bizarre tale is still to be revealed. But the claim from the couple that they just wanted a “large family” doesn’t come within miles of the smell test. Reports from the surrogate mothers involved of the couple’s relative disinterest in involvement with the pregnancies and the subterfuge of setting up their own agency for their own alleged children is raising enough red flags that the display could be spotted from space.

Leave aside for a moment that in California one need not have a specific license to operate a surrogacy agency and the ethics involved with surrogacy itself. What we have here is 21 children with no idea if they have any genetic connection to the couple involved. Recall it was just ten years ago that Feds raided a number of “maternity hotels” run for pregnant Chinese women in order to gain American citizenship for their children.

Southern California apartment complexes that doubled as “maternity hotels” for Chinese women who want made-in-America babies were raided early Tuesday, capping an unprecedented federal sting operation, officials said.

NBC News was on the scene as Homeland Security agents swept into The Carlyle, a luxury property in Irvine, California, which housed pregnant women and new moms who allegedly forked over $40,000 to $80,000 to give birth in the United States. (snip)

All told, the feds raided 20 locations in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties, targeting three competing birth tourism schemes, officials said. The suspected operators have not been charged but are being questioned.

Is surrogacy just a variation on the theme of Chinese nationals obtaining an American passport through the backdoor? Are there any other “agencies” out there doing the same thing for China?

The Biden Administration was strangely incurious when China’s spy balloons wandered unmolested across the USA. And only recently has the federal government finally moved to stop China’s purchasing of American farmland, especially around military bases.

Red China has been a busy little bee with its creative aggressions against America. Human assets, from Chinese nationals with American birth citizenship to Chinese illegal aliens who streamed over the southern border in the last four years are a definite national security issue. China has even compromised our university system.

Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, citizens of the People’s Republic of China, were charged in a criminal complaint with conspiracy, smuggling goods into the United States, false statements, and visa fraud, announced United States Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. (snip)

United States Attorney Gorgon stated: “The alleged actions of these Chinese nationals—including a loyal member of the Chinese Communist Party—are of the gravest national security concerns. These two aliens have been charged with smuggling a fungus that has been described as a ‘potential agroterrorism weapon’ into the heartland of America, where they apparently intended to use a University of Michigan laboratory to further their scheme.”

As the quote says, “China is asshole.” Act according.
