Another failed attempt at deflection and whataboutism.

It's near certain that Alice Guo is/was a Chinese spy. She used a fake identity to present herself as a Filipina.

MANILA, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Former Philippines mayor Alice Guo, accused of ties to Chinese criminal syndicates and money laundering, arrived in Manila on Friday on a chartered flight after being deported from Indonesia.

Guo, also known as Chinese national Guo Hua Ping, was arrested in the Indonesian city of Tangerang near the capital of Jakarta on Tuesday.

Law enforcement authorities found her fingerprints matched those of a Chinese national, Guo Hua Ping. The Philippine Senate opened a congressional probe into Guo in May, two months after authorities raided a gambling hub catering to offshore clients who are mostly Chinese. The raid uncovered what authorities described as online scams inside a facility built on land that Guo partially owned.

The Philippines' anti-graft office removed her as mayor in August due to grave misconduct over her alleged ties to illegal gaming operations in Bamban.

The raid on the gambling hub uncovered hundreds of trafficked workers including foreign nationals, which triggered a human trafficking complaint against Guo from an anti-crime commission.
