Chinese National Pleads Guilty to Acting at the Direction of North Korea to Export Firearms, Ammo, and Technology to North Korea​

Monday, June 9, 2025
An illegal alien from China pleaded guilty today to federal criminal charges for illegally exporting firearms, ammunition and other military items to North Korea by concealing them inside shipping containers that departed from the Port of Long Beach, California, and for committing this crime at the direction of North Korean government officials, who wired him approximately $2 million for his efforts.

According to his plea agreement, Wen is a citizen of the People’s Republic of China who entered the United States in 2012 on a student visa and remained in the U.S. illegally after his student visa expired in December 2013.
Prior to entering the United States, Wen met with officials from North Korea’s government at a North Korean embassy in China. These government officials directed Wen to procure goods on behalf of North Korea.
In May 2023, Wen purchased a firearms business in Houston, paid for with money sent through intermediaries by one of Wen’s North Korean contacts. Wen purchased many of the firearms he sent to North Korea in Texas and drove the firearms from Texas to California, where he arranged for them to be shipped.

So, Wen:
(1) Overstayed his 2012 Student Visa– nobody at the school contacted the Feds? And the feds don’t check SV expiration-date lists?
(2) Gets approved to open Firearms store– doesn’t that require documentation? Did he buy out an existing store? Was it an online store only? Is just-cash no credit acceptable for that transaction? Who grants approval?
(3) Ships illegal merchandise to unfriendly country- Doesn’t that raise a flag? Who oversees that? How was it transported?
So many points where the necessary documentation & reviewers should have caught this outlier.

When will Democrats start getting arrested for overtly aiding and abetting criminals who are acting as foreign agents.

This is ALL so avoidable. Our country has been so severely weakened because the Democrats.

Don't tell me, let me guess: The FBI and/or ATF had him on their Radar.

Question worth asking is how he managed to get an FFL, presuming the Gun Business he's reported to have been engaged in...Non-Citizen, here illegally on a long expired visa, a Business that would have required fingerprints, pictures, and an interview with a BATFE Agent and given the time line at least one renewal of the FFL.
