I've been looking; haven't found it yet (not on the usual DOJ & FBI press release pages).

The WSJ article suggests this could have been a sting; I wonder if any actual Chinese agents were involved.

I also wonder whether Chinese-Americans wi/ clearances get aggressively loyalty tested in stings.

Some of the bad cases that have been brought recently (e.g. the Temple prof) suggest he's not wrong.

Well, there's risk from China, esp post-OPM, which is acute. And then the risk from FBI. Different threats @gusandrews @Esquiring
