A story worthy of a thriller. Chinese agents who recruited FBI ‘double agent’ arrested in US over Huawei case
On Monday, the US Justice Department announced charges against six Chinese citizens, including five alleged spies, accused of working on behalf of the Chinese government to recruit US citizens as sources and undermine federal prosecutions against a major Chinese company. A person familiar with the investigation confirmed to CNN that it was Huawei.
The Department for Combating Chinese Spies Working on American Soil to Undermine the Interests of the US Government is doing everything to protect the country’s national security interests, Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a press conference on Monday.
As these cases show, the Chinese government has sought to interfere with the rights and freedoms of people in the United States and undermine our judicial system, which protects these rights. They didn’t succeed.

Two of the alleged spies, Gouchong He and Zheng Wang, have been charged with interfering in a federal prosecution against global telecommunications company Huawei. They allegedly maintained a relationship with the law enforcement officer involved in the case starting in 2017. According to the indictment, they believed they had recruited the official, but the US officer was working as a “double agent” for the FBI.
When the Huawei investigation began, the two allegedly asked the official for information about witnesses, forensic evidence, and new charges that could be brought against Huawei. In return, the U.S. official was given thousands of dollars in cash and jewelry, as well as bitcoin, prosecutors said.
As the Huawei investigation moved forward, He and Wang allegedly stepped up their efforts to intervene in the prosecution against Huawei. According to the indictment documents, He and Wang asked law enforcement officials to tape prosecutors during meetings so they could share sensitive information with Huawei.
According to the indictment, the U.S. official instead handed over to two alleged Chinese spies a photograph of a one-page document with a false “secret” label pertaining to the case. The American official was allegedly paid $41,000 for the document.

The “gypsy” Rolls-Royce Phantom from Ares Modena is presented – the first two-door model of the line in the last few years
Italian coachbuilder Ares Modena has unveiled the limited-edition Rolls-Royce Phantom coupe.
The new model was announced on Ares Modena’s social networks. A direct comparison with the standard Phantom shows the coupe has a shorter wheelbase, two massive hinged doors and a redesigned rear end.
Ares Modena reports that the model is available exclusively in black or white exterior colors, as well as in a two-tone configuration with a hood and windshield frame painted in rose gold.
The interior features “new materials and handcrafted finishes,” making each example unique and tailored to the owner’s preferences. Interior renderings show rose gold trim and quilting on the dashboard inserts, door panels and center armrest. Judging by the shortened wheelbase, rear passengers won’t have as much room as in the regular Phantom.
In terms of power, the coupe will likely be powered by a 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine that produces 563 hp. and a torque of 900 Nm straight from the factory.
Rolls-Royce produced the Phantom Coupe between 2008 and 2016. To date, the only two-door model in the Rolls-Royce line-up is the all-electric Specter.

What will surprise Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra? AI capabilities of One UI 6.1 revealed
Details (with pictures) about the artificial intelligence capabilities that will be implemented in the One UI 6.1 firmware have been leaked to the Network. A number of functions seem to be copied from Google.
For example, users of Samsung smartphones running One UI 6.1 will be able to generate wallpapers using text queries. It will be possible to specify the subject and background separately, and based on this data, the neural network will create an image. You can add a portrait or weather effects to your lock screen screensaver.
The photo editor integrated into One UI 6.1 uses AI to move objects from one picture to another using a simple drag-and-drop gesture. The editor will also be able to complete the images.
Samsung Notes will feature a feature that is currently available in browsers: the application, upon user request, will analyze a long note and display the gist of it in a few sentences. Samsung Notes will also automatically format handwritten notes after they are converted to text.
One UI 6.1 will be able to translate voice calls in real time from one language to another for both interlocutors.
This is probably not a complete list of AI capabilities in One UI 6.1. According to preliminary data, the first models with One UI 6.1 pre-installed will be the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung will officially demonstrate the AI capabilities of its new flagships on January 8, 2024.
