Two people have been arrested by the FBI on allegations they helped operate an illegal police station for the government of China in lower Manhattan.The two are charged with conspiring to act as agents for the Chinese government. The FBI said “Harry” Lu Jianwang, 61, of the Bronx, and Chen Jinping, 59, of Manhattan, were arrested Monday morning at their homes in New York City."The defendants worked together to establish the first overseas police station in the United States on behalf of the Fuzhou branch of the (Ministry of Public Security)," the FBI said in a statement.In addition to the New York complaint, two other complaints were filed - one against 34 members of Beijing's Municipal Public Security Bureau, and another against a group of 10 people that includes eight Chinese government officials.
At a New York City press briefing held April 17, U.S. Attorney Breon Peace nailed the core national security issue at stake in The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Police Stations in America Fiasco: "This prosecution reveals the Chinese government's flagrant violation of our nation's sovereignty by establishing a secret police station in the middle of New York City..."Kudos to Peace for stating the gut truth. Here's the rest of Peace's quote: "...As alleged, the defendants and their co-conspirators were tasked with doing (communist China's) bidding, including helping locate a Chinese dissident living in the United States, and obstructed our investigation by deleting their communications. Such a police station has no place here in New York City — or any American community."Peace was addressing the specifics of the case he is prosecuting. Nevertheless, his case and two other Justice Department investigations involving CCP secret police operations in America are tactical (small) examples of the strategic challenge the U.S. and its allies confront — communist China obeys no rules other than it will do whatever the hell it wants to do.I add this as a caveat at least for the next two to three years: Beijing will do whatever it wants to do as long as doing what it wants doesn't exact a heavy penalty.
What the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are engaging is violating America's sovereignty.
