A New York man has been convicted of running a covert Chinese police station in Manhattan, acting as an unregistered agent for the Chinese government. The jury found Lu Jianwang guilty, linking him to a broader network of Chinese espionage operations in the United States. Prosecutors revealed that he had contacts with several Chinese officials in public security, while his defense claimed the facility was merely a center for social activities, including ping-pong. This case has raised concerns over foreign influence and the safety of dissidents in the Chinese community.
