FBI arrest two Chinese operatives for 'running illegal police station' in Manhattan to 'spy on and harass dissidents' - on US soil ......

Lu Jianwang, 61, of the Bronx, and Chen Jinping, 59, of Manhattan, were both arrested on Monday morning at their addresses in New York.

They have been charged with conspiring to act as agents for the Chinese government, and are expected to appear in federal court in Brooklyn.

Prosecutors say Jianwang tried to persuade a Chinese fugitive to return home, and continually 'harassed and threatened' the individual in 2018.

In 2022 China's government asked Jianwang to locate a pro-democracy Chinese activist living in California.

The pair admitted to the FBI that they deleted their communications with a Chinese government official after discovering they were under investigation.

Both are accused of running the station for a provincial branch of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China (PRC).

If convicted of conspiring to act as agents of the PRC, the defendants face a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

An obstruction of justice charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Many of the stations are open in Western Europe, with only four in North America

Pictured: Chinese officials operating inside their police station in New York City. It is one of at least 54 active around the world, and the only known to be operating in the US

This is another side effect of a totally feckless immigration policy and immigration enforcement. There should be zero Chinese allowed into the United State. Universities need to be cleansed. American businesses need to be cleansed. No Chinese national should be allowed to purchase any real estate in the US. Effective immediately, every Chinese national needs to be deported.

The headline should be: “The FBI Actually Did Their Job For Once.”

Joe’s FIB has arrested CCP police?

Joe’s handlers in China will not be happy and won’t let this slide.

Must have been a rogue FBI agent who made the arrests. Maybe he didn’t know the CCP already paid Hunter and the “big guy”.

“In 2022 China’s government asked Jianwang to locate a pro-democracy Chinese activist living in California.”

That’s the FBIs job in America too. Funny the similarities.
I wonder how much Chomo Joe will get for their return to China?
