In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the senators highlighted alarming reports of at least 107 Chinese-owned companies with &#8220;surrogacy&#8221; in their name in California alone, raising grave concerns about immigration fraud, human trafficking, and foreign influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The senators pointed to schemes where wealthy Chinese pay U.S. surrogates over $50,000 to produce children with automatic citizenship, who are then flown to China and raised under Communist Party influence. A single Chinese billionaire has fathered over 100 such children, aiming to secure U.S. passports for heirs. &#8220;These children will eventually be eligible to vote in American elections, access sensitive positions, or otherwise advance Beijing\u2019s interests, all while owing their allegiance to the CCP,&#8221; Cotton and Scott warned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They described this as a &#8220;deliberate, long-term strategy by an adversary to ideologically and systematically undermine the United States.&#8221; The probe focuses on cases like CCP official Guojun Xuan and Silvia Zhang, who allegedly used California&#8217;s surrogacy industry to have at least 26 children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xuan, tied to China&#8217;s All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, operated Mark Surrogacy from their home. The couple faces child abuse investigations after a hospitalized infant revealed the scheme. This exploitation of U.S. citizenship laws poses a direct threat to national sovereignty, commodifying children and eroding family values through unethical surrogacy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rick Scott (R-FL) are calling for an immediate federal investigation into surrogacy centers operated by foreign nationals, particularly Chinese elites exploiting U.S. laws to birth children on American soil.
