Eugene Ji (嵇跃勤; Ji Yueqin), a Chinese-American businessman and an overseas committee member of a 🇨🇳 CCP United Front group, owns twin golf courses flanking the US Air Force headquarters that controls two legs of the US nuclear triad. Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), which is responsible for all of America’s intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear bombers, is hosted by Barksdale Air Force Base near Shreveport, Louisiana. ~2 miles to the north and south, the base is effectively bordered by The Golf Club At StoneBridge and its 27-hole, 340-acre sister, Olde Oaks Golf Club. Since 2013, both courses have been owned by Ji, who has held multiple 🇨🇳 government positions including serving as an official for United Front Work Department, a CCP influence and intelligence agency. “Politicians and dignitaries, business friends, university presidents — all come to play golf. When senators and congressmen campaign, when governors and mayors hold gatherings, they all come to my golf club.” However, customer reviews and local news reports have criticized the golf clubs’ conditions in recent years. One Google review characterized StoneBridge as a “dump,” while others have claimed nine holes have been “abandoned” by Olde Oaks, which the American Golfer blog listed as among the “worst” Louisiana golf courses in Dec 2025. Ji’s ownership of the golf clubs and business activities, which appear centered on the Bayou State, pose a serious national security threat. “We spend billions of dollars on our bomber fleet. Chinese agents spend pennies on the dollar to put them in the crosshairs. For the price of two apparently poorly-maintained courses, the CCP and the People’s Liberation Army have likely secured an intelligence and sabotage bonanza.” So far there have been no reported espionage incidents involving either of the golf courses. Ji is listed as an “overseas committee member” of the UFWD‘s All-China Federation Of Returned Overseas Chinese (ACFROC). Ji has attended numerous ACFROC meetings in China, including the UFWD arm’s Sep 2018 Beijing conference. Since that conference, the Louisiana businessman has also met with ACFROC officials in Jiangsu and Shandong provinces, as well as within the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. During those meetings, Ji agreed to support China’s economy in various ways, such as by serving as an “ambassador” to recruit talent for Shandong’s Jinan Start-Up Area. This national development zone hosts centers focused on researching AI, supercomputers and robotics, and is mandated to advance China’s Military-Civil Fusion (MCF) policy. “United Front operations rarely look hostile — they build relationships, normalize their presence, embed in local communities, and wait, subtly conducting the CCP’s work abroad, like recruiting.” “This isn’t a businessman who happens to own a golf course. This is a CCP political actor highlighted in Chinese government publications. If a CCP-linked network controls the social economic nodes around a nuclear-mission base, that is leverage Beijing can weaponize in a moment of tension.” Ji has held Chinese government positions on and off for more than 40 years, and has used his foothold in Louisiana to introduce CCP delegations to the state. Ji first began working for the Chinese government in 1981, when he was assigned to the Guizhou Provincial Economic and Trade Department. Over the next 7 years, the Chinese government dispatched Ji on a series of trade missions to Guangzhou, Europe, Japan and the US, until he quit his post in June 1989 and moved to America to pursue his graduate degree in economics at New York University. 1/n dailycaller.com/2026/01/05/exc
