"Matthew Ziburis, a veteran of both the US Army and Marine Corps, was surveilling the Liu home while working at the behest of China's government. His targets were American citizens: Arthur Liu and his teenage daughter, Alysa."
"Arthur Liu, who fled to the United States after the Tiananmen Square crackdown, invested heavily in his daughter Alysa's figure skating career, leading her to become a national champion at age 13."
"Ziburis falsely claimed to be a member of the US Olympic Committee, requesting that Arthur fax him copies of their passports for a supposed travel preparedness check, which Arthur found suspicious."
In November 2021, Matthew Ziburis, a US military veteran, was surveilling Arthur Liu and his daughter Alysa at the behest of the Chinese government. Arthur, a pro-democracy activist who fled China after the Tiananmen Square crackdown, was raising Alysa to be a figure skating champion. Ziburis contacted Arthur, posing as a member of the US Olympic Committee and requesting personal information under the guise of travel preparations for the Beijing Olympics. This incident was part of a larger saga involving multiple legal cases and high-profile figures.
