Newtalk新聞 中國跨國鎮壓動作頻頻，更把歪腦筋動到賴清德總統的家人。一名華裔女房仲涉嫌替中共在美國監控總統賴清德之子賴廷與及其家人，遭美國聯邦調查局（FBI）逮捕。如今外媒再爆料，張婉瑩疑似長期與華裔建商合作，執行中國方面事務，相識多年兩人關係十分親密；而張婉瑩本人則對家人完全隱瞞自己替中國政府做事。 綜合紐約郵報、哥倫比亞廣播公司（CBS）等美國媒體報導，34歲的加州房地產經紀人張婉瑩（Wanying「Heather」Zhang），過去曾飛往西雅圖，前往賴廷與住家附近，趁其與家人返回時，持手機拍攝畫面，包含一家3口、車牌號碼、住家等資訊。 張婉瑩被控與疑似與中國政府聯繫、收集外國領導人資訊，未經註冊在美國擔任中國代理人；檢方在14日的出庭上指稱張婉瑩的中國幫手「一號人士（Individual 1）」疑似就是加州華裔建商苗發泰（Fatai Miao），目前苗發泰已飛往中國、他的住所也清空。 檢方向聯邦法院提交的文件顯示，苗發泰涉嫌2025年與張婉瑩會合，租車前往賴廷與住家，拍攝時苗發泰就在車內。此外，張婉瑩與苗發泰兩人長期合作產生「羅曼蒂克式關係」（romantic relationship）感情親密；而張婉瑩本人則對家人、親屬隱瞞自己為中國政府辦事，宛如過著雙面人生，14日聽證會上更有人控訴她是「不稱職的母親」。 張婉瑩的丈夫丁艾德（Edric Ding）同為房地產業者，據稱兩人建立了龐大的房地產帝國，透過賣房賺取了近1600萬美元。針對報導中的種種說法，張婉瑩的同事認為靠房仲業務賺那麼多錢「不可能」；苗發泰的兒子苗家齊（Jiaqi Miao，音譯）則表示，爸爸是家裡唯一選擇入美國國籍的人，沒有任何理由和中國政府合作。延伸閱讀：護航「捏頭」中生扯言論自由 矢板明夫：只要和中國有關林沛祥就格外寬容115年全民運動會桃園開幕 1.3萬選手齊聚 賴清德盼運動扎根社區央行未跟進全球升息 賴清德：尊重決定、我沒有置喙餘地坦言缺工 賴清德談移民政策：給予國籍社會還要再討論生活成本飆升成致命傷！ 美期中選舉民調曝逾六成不滿川普施政
