Last week, the O’Keefe Media Group released undercover video of Daniel Choi, a US State Department Foreign Service Officer who admitted he dated a senior CCP leader’s daughter and refused to report her.
“I defied my government for love,” Daniel Choi said of his romantic relationship with 27-year-old Joi Zao.
Joi Zao entered the US on a work visa in September 2024.
“Her dad was either a provincial or a federal minister of education. So he’s, like, straight up Communist Party,” Choi said.
“Under federal regulations, Foreign Service Officers are required to report close and continuing contact with foreign nationals from adversarial nations, including China,” the O’Keefe Media Group reported.
Choi admitted he didn’t report her: “I was supposed to, whatever, sort of report what I knew about her, but I always thought that was kind of unfair.”
