Missouri officials are moving to shut down a trailer park business located directly next to one of America’s most sensitive military installations after an investigation uncovered troubling ties to Chinese Communist Party–linked figures.

Secretary of State Denny Hoskins announced Thursday the administrative cancellation of Property Solutions 3603 LP, the operator of the Knob Noster Trailer Park, which shares a perimeter fence with Whiteman Air Force Base — home to the nation’s B-2 stealth bombers. The decision follows a Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) investigation revealing that the property is connected to a convicted fraudster with documented ties to Chinese intelligence networks.

According to DCNF, the company is ultimately controlled by a Georgia-based firm owned by a Canadian couple with links to disgraced Chinese tycoon Miles Guo, who has publicly identified himself as a former CCP intelligence “affiliate.” Guo was convicted in 2024 for orchestrating a fraud scheme exceeding $1 billion and is currently awaiting sentencing.

“We applaud Secretary of State Denny Hoskins for taking this strong action to ensure Missouri’s laws are appropriately enforced,” said Rep. Mark Alford, R-Mo. “We have raised the alarm about the potential links between the Chinese nationals who own the Knob Noster Trailer Park next to Whiteman AFB through this shell corporation and the Chinese Communist Party.”

Business records obtained by DCNF show the property is owned through a web of shell companies controlled by Esther Mei and Cheng Hu. The pair have connections to the New Federal State of China, an organization associated with Guo. Mei, Hu, and the New Federal State of China did not respond to requests for comment, and Guo could not be reached.

Hoskins’ office said the cancellation stemmed from a routine compliance review that found the company’s registered agent information was inaccurate and failed to meet statutory requirements. The office notified the company in November, but the deficiencies were not corrected.

“Failure to respond to notice is a strong indicator that an entity is not operating responsibly or in good faith,” Hoskins’ office said.

“When you operate next to Whiteman Air Force Base, good faith and compliance are the bare minimum,” Hoskins said. “Missouri doesn’t make excuses for entities that refuse to meet them.”

While Hoskins described the action as standard enforcement of Missouri business law, he emphasized that persistent legal noncompliance is “inherently concerning, particularly when it involves entities operating near secure or sensitive locations, including critical military installations.”

Those concerns intensified earlier this month when federal prosecutors charged a Chinese illegal immigrant who allegedly photographed B-2 bombers from the base’s perimeter fence.

The Whiteman case is not isolated. According to another DCNF investigation, Air Force Global Strike Command headquarters at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana — which oversees America’s nuclear bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles — is flanked by two golf courses owned by a Chinese intelligence official.

“Secretary Hoskins deserves the gratitude of all Americans for acting decisively to protect American national security,” said Michael Lucci, founder and CEO of State Armor. “When Hoskins saw a company presenting a threat to Whiteman Air Force Base, he acted to administratively cancel that company for violating Missouri law.”

Lucci added that state officials must use every legal tool available to defend against CCP influence.

Missouri previously won a $25 billion lawsuit against the Chinese government for “causing and exacerbating the COVID-19 pandemic” and hoarding medical supplies during the crisis.

“Whether it’s ‘show me the filings’ for this limited partnership or ‘show me the money’ for Covid reparations, the Show Me State is showing the CCP that no one is above the law in Missouri,” said Jacqueline Deal of State Armor.

Still, some analysts warned that compliance actions alone are not enough.

“This is a great step, but we shouldn’t confuse compliance concerns with national security and counterintelligence issues,” said L.J. Eads, a former Air Force intelligence analyst. He urged states to form counterintelligence units to help protect military installations from foreign infiltration.

Rep. Alford said his office will continue pressing federal authorities to closely scrutinize foreign ownership of property near Whiteman and other critical military sites.

The message from Missouri is clear: allowing CCP-linked entities to operate next to America’s nuclear bomber base is not just reckless — it’s unacceptable.
