DOJ charges five in alleged scheme to target Chinese dissidents in US

The Department of Justice on Wednesday unveiled three cases against Chinese nationals accused of trying to suppress dissent against China's government on U.S. soil.

Indictments unsealed by DOJ detail alleged plots to prevent the candidacy of a U.S. Congress hopeful, including weighing attacking him; attempting to bribe a U.S. tax official to obtain information on a pro-democracy activist; and going after a one-time visiting scholar now working at the behest of China's Ministry of State Security.

"This activity is antithetical to fundamental American values, and we will not tolerate it when it violates U.S. law," Matthew Olsen, the assistant attorney general leading the DOJ's National Security Division, said in a statement. "The Department of Justice will defend the rights of Americans and those who come to live, work, and study in the United States. We will not allow any foreign government to impede their freedom of speech, to deny them the protection of our laws or to threaten their safety or the safety of their families."

“We will not allow any foreign government to impede their freedom of speech, to deny them the protection of our laws or to threaten their safety or the safety of their families.”

“But of course the Brandon DOJ will if we deem it necessary”, added Olsen.

“This activity is antithetical to fundamental American values, and we will not tolerate it when it violates U.S. law.”

Intimidation at the voting booths, stuffing ballot boxes and using fixed computerized voting machines is however acceptable according to the DOJ.

Glad to see that the FBI has been so effective that they were able to stop the assassination of Jim Li, a lawyer in Queens and 1989 Tiananmen Square protester.

Oh wait...

Not uncommon. Back in the 70’s my Philipino landlord was uncomfortablele when her American boyfriend spoke ill of Ferdinand Marcos. Marcos had his spies here. Families back home would pat the price.
