Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rick Scott (R-FL) are calling for a federal investigation into surrogacy centers operated by foreigners following alarming reports of Chinese nationals fathering dozens of U.S.-born children in massive surrogacy scams.
The disturbing phenomenon garnered mainstream attention this year after the media reported on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official Guojun Xuan and his partner Silvia Zhang, who allegedly took advantage of California’s unregulated surrogacy industry to have at least 26 children using Xuan’s sperm and an anonymous egg donor.

In a Thursday letter penned to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Cotton and Scott pointed to the recent reports of Chinese-run surrogacy agencies, saying they “cater almost exclusively to wealthy Chinese clients, and some are affiliated with Chinese state-owned entities.”
“Chinese nationals pay women living in the United States more than $50,000 to serve as surrogates,” the senators explained. “The children are born on United States soil and granted automatic citizenship. And in most cases, the infants are promptly flown to China and raised there under the direct influence of the Chinese Communist Party.”
Xuan and Zhang amassed more than two dozen children by creating their own agency, Mark Surrogacy, located in their multimillion-dollar home in Arcadia. The surrogates involved say they did not know that the couple had more than one other child.

Authorities unveiled the alleged scam in 2025 after a two-month-old infant in Xuan’s care was hospitalized with head injuries, prompting investigators to discover more than two dozen other children — ranging from infants to teenagers.
At least five more children have been born via surrogacy since the couple’s arrest, according to reports cited by the New York Post. Xuan and Zhang are reportedly out on bond while a state child abuse investigation is ongoing.
There is now an ongoing legal battle, with some of the surrogate mothers fighting for custody of the children they birthed after discovering the couple’s alleged scheme, and Xuan and Zhang filing lawsuits against at least two expecting surrogates who had allegedly cut off contact with them since their arrest.

A report from the New Yorker also alleges that Xuan’s behavior had carried business cards claiming to be a “Trump Doge Member,” “an Official Trump Cabinet Member,” and a “Trump Advisor,” while not having ties to the administration.
In another instance referenced in the senators’ letter to Bondi, “a single Chinese billionaire has fathered more than 100 American-born children through this process, with the explicit goal of producing male heirs who hold U.S. passports.”
