China claims Wells Fargo banker blocked from leaving country is ‘involved in criminal case'
China said Monday that a US-based Wells Fargo banker has been blocked from leaving the country because she 'is involved in a criminal case.' Chenyue Mao, an Atlanta-based managing director at Wells Fargo who was born in Shanghai, has been blocked from leaving in accordance with the law, Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the ministry, said during a news briefing. The case is currently under investigation and Mao is obliged to cooperate, Guo said, though no details on the case or how Mao is involved were shared. 4 Chenyue Mao, managing director at Wells Fargo. Trade Reboot 'Everyone in China, whether they are Chinese or foreigners, must abide by Chinese laws,' Guo added. Wells Fargo quickly placed a ban on all travel to China, a source close to the matter previously told Reuters. 'We are closely tracking this situation and working through the appropriate channels so our employee can return to the United States as soon as possible,' a Wells Fargo spokesperson previously told The Post. The US bank declined to comment on whether it has been in touch with Mao and efforts to expedite her return. A spokesperson for the US Embassy in Beijing declined to comment on Mao's case but said it has 'raised our concern with Chinese authorities about the impact arbitrary exit bans on US citizens have on our bilateral relations and urged them to immediately allow impacted US citizens to return home.' Mao's exit ban, along with two other cases of foreigners being restricted from leaving China, have set off alarm bells for foreign businesses with interests in the area. 4 China said that a US-based Wells Fargo banker is facing an exit ban because she is involved in a criminal case. REUTERS A Commerce Department employee who traveled to China several months ago to visit family is being blocked from exiting the country after he failed to disclose on his visa application that he worked for the US government, sources familiar with the matter told the Washington Post. Guo said he had no information to provide when asked about a US government employee, whose name is currently unknown, facing an exit ban. Meanwhile, a Beijing court on Wednesday sentenced a Japanese executive to more than three years in prison for espionage, according to the Japanese government.

The executive was detained in 2023. Exit bans have become increasingly common in China, where they are used as intimidation tactics or to create leverage over another company or foreign government. Mao, the Wells Fargo banker facing an exit ban, was raised in China and is now a US citizen, sources familiar with the matter who insisted on anonymity told the New York Times. 4 Wells Fargo declined to comment on whether it has been in touch with Mao and efforts to expedite her return. REUTERS Her case has stoked anxiety among naturalized American citizens who grew up in China, since the Chinese government has sometimes treated Americans who were born in China as Chinese citizens, these sources said. Mao has worked at Wells Fargo since 2012 and specializes in international factoring, a process that allows companies to sell unpaid invoices to a third party, known in this case as the factor, for immediate cash. Mao worked with Chinese firms and industry groups on international factoring matters, and sometimes traveled to China on business, according to the Wall Street Journal. She was recently named chairwoman of FCI, formerly called Factors Chain International, and posted about the new role on LinkedIn just a few weeks ago. 4 Chenyue Mao has worked at Wells Fargo since 2012. Facebook/Chenyue Mao Eric Zheng, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, on Sunday called for the release of more details in Mao's case in order to reassure the foreign business community. Many Japanese companies have already been limiting travel to China and withdrawing family members of managers stationed in the country. Other international companies have canceled business trips or released new policies discouraging employees from entering China alone.

Minnesota, Wisconsin prison inmates training puppies to be assistance dogs
A sign outside the main gate of the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Faribault, the state's largest prison, warns of security dogs, but a special litter of Labrador puppies inside the fences that are providing inmates with a different kind of personal safety. Can Do Canines, a New Hope, Minnesota-based assistance dog service, has teamed up with nine state and federal prisons across Minnesota and Wisconsin for a program where inmates are the primary handlers and trainers, including at the Faribault facility. "I've learned the value of connection," LeNorris Drummond, an inmate handler, told WCCO News. "When I'm just lonely, I go in and you talk to him. He shakes his head a little bit, and he's understanding me." Drummond was convicted on drug charges and sentenced to more than six years in prison. "We're all not perfect, and we fail at times, but it's about getting back up and growing to move forward and better your life, not just for yourself but your family and community," he added. "To know when I get out, I have to have responsibility to take care of myself in order to transition and transform my life and starting to make better choices." Mitchell Nagel, the corrections officer overseeing the program, said the inmates must pass a rigorous review process before becoming handlers, including being approved to live in minimum security quarters, which affords them more freedom on campus while wearing a GPS ankle bracelet. "If someone is misbehaving or going to segregation and you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing, then you won't be allowed out here," Nagel explained. "I can look at their living space and see that it's clean. That's a huge thing. You don't want a dirty and messy area when you have a dog walking around." Drummond is one of eight handlers for four Labrador puppies currently at Faribault. His dog, Racer, will soon turn 1 year old and be returned to Can Do Canines before being sent elsewhere for its full-time work as an assistance dog. Once Racer leaves, another puppy will come to live and train with Drummond. "It's the connection, the friendship," he said. "The biggest thing is I have someone to take care of." According to prison officials, the training program is of no cost to taxpayers, and Can Do Canines provides all food and equipment.

Mom, daughter apologize for NYC parking spot brawl after ‘hundreds' of death threats — but victim isn't buying it
A mom and daughter duo charged with ganging up on a Big Apple co-ed in a slur-laced Queens parking spot brawl are being pelted with online death threats — and have now apologized for the caught-on-video melee. The alleged victim doesn't wanna hear it, she told The Post. 'I don't accept the apology only because I feel like the apologies are only because of how much outreach the video is getting and I don't think the apology is wholesome,' Pace University student Jada McPherson, 21, said Monday. Advertisement 4 Andree Dumitru and her daughter, Sabrina Starman, say they're sorry for the parking spot brawl that got them busted. LP Media 'I don't think it's from their hearts, like deep down,' she said. 'But I just hope they could see or see what they did wrong and kind of get a better understanding of how to operate or act in certain situations from this situation.' Viral video captured the July 7 scuffle in Ridgewood, when mom Andreea Dumitru, 45, and her 21-year-old daughter, Sabrina Starman — along with an unidentified man — jumped McPherson after the student tried to park in a spot the friend was holding for them. Advertisement Dumitru and Starman have been inundated with insults and death threats over the encounter since the wild video, which shows them slugging McPherson, pulling her hair and throwing her to the ground — with both sides hurling racial and ethnic epithets at each other, the footage shows. 'You're a monkey, bitch,' Dumitru is heard shouting in the video. McPherson responds, 'You're an immigrant, bitch.' Advertisement Starman then chimes in and yells, 'You're a f–king slave bitch. You're a slave for what it's worth.' In one disturbing text message the family received since the video went viral, an anonymous goon wrote, 'You ready to die? Because I'm ready to kill you and your peoples (sic). 'You will be seeing me shortly,' the text said. 'Mark my words, I am going to murder ALL OF YOU.' Dumitru and Starman, who were charged with assault and harassment, now fear for their lives. Advertisement 'I have hundreds of calls death-threatening me, telling me how they're going to come,' Dumitru said in an interview. 'I never in my life has experienced such trauma. And not only that, I have my little one and I have appointments and I have surgeries coming up. I have a dog. My mom is older. 4 Andree Dumitru and her daughter, Sabrina Starman, attacked student Jada McPherson over a Queens parking spot. I-am-Mihnea/Reddit 4 Dumitru, Starman and an unidentified neighbor jumped McPherson and threw her to the ground in the July 7 incident. I-am-Mihnea/Reddit 'I fear for my life,' she added. 'I've been threatened. I haven't been sleeping since I got out of jail. I haven't been able to rest. I have not been eating.' The parking spot scuffle erupted outside 18-28 Putnam Ave., after the mystery neighbor agreed to hold the space by putting a garbage can there while Dumitru drove her younger son to McDonald's. When McPherson tried to park in the spot, all hell broke loose. Starman claimed McPherson started the name-calling, and suggested she started the fight. 'It was the way she approached us and provoked us for a whole 30 minutes straight,' she said. 'So, the 45-minute mark where we got arrested — because we were just only sticking up for ourselves.' Advertisement Still the mother and daughter, who had their lawyer with them when they spoke to The Post, offered an apology for the incident that now has them in trouble with the law. 4 Jada McPherson doesn't believe her alleged attackers should be getting death threats, but won't accept their apology. Jada McPherson McPherson, who is still upset about the three-on-one assault, said she feels the death threats are out of line and blows the entire incident out of proportion. 'I just feel like the death threats are unnecessary,' she said. 'I don't think the death threats are necessary. I just feel the violence, especially to [her] son, is completely unnecessary. He shouldn't be at fault for something that they did.' Advertisement Meanwhile, Dumitru said she's learned a valuable lesson from the whole mess. 'I'll never do that again,' she said. 'Ever. I learned my lesson. I will never do something like that again, and I will never condone something like that ever again. 'You want the parking? Take it. It's not worth this. This is not worth it.'
