Deed filings support that a Philip Qiu and Family Foundation, tied by reporting to Qiu's alleged Chinese intelligence roles, bought the Securities Building about 650 feet from the White House for $8.4 million on 2026-07-21.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… of the White House, where they and by the way, it's not just about the physical threat, but also the geolocational threats, also the sensors that they can put up in there, the cell phone sensors that they can put up, like Stingrays, on the tower, and they can suck out any cell phone signal that's going in and out of the White House on a regular basis.

Bannon`s War Room · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. IBTimes reports that the property filings name the buyer as a family foundation registered in Washington, not a Chinese entity, which undercuts the claim that the CCP itself made the purchase.[1]
Supports. District of Columbia property filings show the Philip Qiu and Family Foundation paid $8.4 million for the Securities Building, about 650 feet from the White House, on July 21, 2026.[1][2][3]
Context. Daily Caller reporting describes Philip Qiu as holding positions in Chinese intelligence and state security arms, but this rests on investigative reporting and translations rather than an official finding.[5]
Context. Former CIA officer Bryan Dean Wright said the property could be used as a listening post or for Stingray-like collection of phone calls, but this is a hypothetical capability assessment, not a report that interception is occurring.[4][6]
