A federal jury convicts a Bronx man of acting as an illegal agent of the Chinese government and of obstruction of justice in connection with an alleged undeclared overseas police station in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Prosecutors say the man helped run the operation from a nondescript office and failed to register it as required under U.S. law. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York says the conviction was reached after trial in Brooklyn. According to reporting from multiple outlets, prosecutors also describe the purpose of the alleged station as monitoring dissidents, while the defendant is found responsible for related conduct and actions prosecutors characterize as interfering with the investigation. The case centers on whether the defendant operated or supported activities on behalf of a foreign government without proper disclosure and whether he obstructed the resulting federal inquiry. The outlets’ accounts align on the identity of the convicted person, the federal convictions, the alleged location in Manhattan’s Chinatown, and the characterization of the operation as a “secret” or “undeclared” police station.
