Investigation into company of former Hoover fellow regarding international surrogacy and…

The New York Post investigated Haotian Bai, a former fellow of the Hoover Institution, regarding his company, Patriot Conceptions. The company was alleged to be a surrogacy firm used by wealthy Chinese elites to implant embryos into American women, with the goal of gaining U.S. citizenship for the resulting children. A surrogate identified as Judy came forward regarding her involvement with the company. The investigation also reportedly linked the company to a Chinese internship program that lawmakers suspect was connected to espionage.

The allegations suggest that Bai's company was used to facilitate international citizenship through U.S.-based surrogacy. The investigation also noted that Bai falsely described the company in a now-deleted article as merely an advocacy hub for military families. The allegations involve potential international fraud and links to state-sponsored activities.
