People in at least six states in the United States received unclassified seed packages marked with jewels from China, prompting agricultural officials in that country to warn that these mysterious seeds may be harmful to the environment.

According to overseas media reports, some confused residents in Washington, Virginia, Utah, Kansas, Arizona and Louisiana received small packages containing seeds with labels indicating that the seeds came from China.

The labels on some packages are printed with Chinese characters, which are mistaken for all kinds of jewelry.

It is not clear why the seed package was sent to the United States and why these people received the seeds.

Extended data:

For the unknown package received by the United States, China responded:

Wang Wenbin, a spokesman, claimed that the mailing of plant seeds is prohibited by the Universal Postal Union, and China Post strictly enforces the mailing ban, which prohibits the mailing of seed plants. This batch of mail was confirmed by China Post, and the postal bills were all forged, and there were many errors in the layout and information items of the bills. At present, under the coordination of China Post and the United States, the parcel has been sent back to China, and the source will be investigated.

Obviously, criminals want to use these fake emails to interfere with Sino-US relations. In fact, in addition to the mysterious packages received by the United States, three mysterious packages also appeared in the Consulate General of China in Penang.
