>In reality, when interviewed by officers of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at LAX on June 7, 2020, Wang provided information that he was, in fact, still currently a “Level 9” technician in the PLA, employed by a military university lab.

Are you seriously telling me that the guy who is supposedly sent to "spy" in the US - just tells them at the border , oh hey, no i actually i lied - i work for Chinese military. I dont buy this - there is more to the story. I mean, do they waterboard foreigners at LAX?

Something does not add up here.

The application was over a year and a half ago. Wang may simply have forgotten what lies he told on the application.

It also seems to be implied that not all the information that contradicted the visa application came from an interview. Specifically it is implied that CPB knew he was being paid by organizations in China via another source.

Wang may not be the one who told the lies. "Here, sign this paper that we filled out for you." "OK."

Well not just foreigners, but they do subject travelers to a variety of forms of psychological torture there, including sleep deprivation. Like when your plane is out on the tarmac and they keep telling you "it should be just a few more minutes" ...for hours. Then the flight is cancelled.
