The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday announced charges against a ring of Chinese agents for monitoring and intimidating Chinese dissidents living in the United States.
One of the cases involved a Chinese agent allegedly hiring an American private investigator (P.I.) to fabricate a scandal that could keep a survivor of the Tiananmen Square massacre from running for Congress.
DOJ said three of the defendants were arrested in New York on Tuesday and Wednesday: Fan âFrankâ Liu, Matthew Ziburis, and Shujun Wang. The other two, Qiang âJasonâ Sun and Qiming Lin, remain at large. Both are believed to be in China.
Court documents said the five defendants âallegedly perpetrated transnational repression schemes to target U.S. residents whose political views and actions are disfavored by the Peopleâs Republic of China (PRC) government, such as advocating for democracy in the PRC.â
