U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan says Chinese nationals posing as tourists drove through Fort Wainwright’s main gate and onto the post before being stopped — but neither his office nor the Pentagon has provided details.
U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan says Chinese nationals posing as tourists drove through Fort Wainwright’s main gate and onto the post before being stopped by security personnel. He said that and other incidents in recent years show that both China and Russia are trying to collect information on Alaska military installations and operations.

And so did the FBI. The May 31 USA Today story says a vehicle with Chinese nationals “blew past” a Fort Wainwright security checkpoint before it was stopped on post. The story says authorities then found a drone aircraft inside the vehicle.
