Lu Jianwang convicted of spying

Lu Jianwang, a 64-year-old resident of New York, has been convicted in federal court for acting as an illegal agent of the Chinese government.

Prosecutors proved that Lu operated a 'secret police station' in Manhattan's Chinatown, which was used to harass and monitor Chinese dissidents living in the United States.

Additionally, he was found guilty of obstructing justice by deleting communications with Chinese officials after learning of the FBI's investigation.

This landmark conviction highlights the ongoing efforts by the Department of Justice to combat transnational repression and foreign interference on American soil.
