It is the first time criminal charges have been brought in connection with Beijing’s overseas police station, said Breon Peace, the U.S. attorney for Brooklyn. The case is one of three filed Monday by federal prosecutors that accuse China of brazen espionage activity within the U.S. …

Prosecutors say Lu Jianwang, 61, and Chen Jinping, 59, assisted the Chinese government by operating the outpost — a nondescript office without an explicit “cover” — on behalf of the Fuzhou municipal bureau, a branch of Beijing’s Ministry of Public Security.

Members of the Chinese Consulate paid a visit to the police station when it opened in 2022, said Michael Driscoll, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s New York field office.

Chinese intelligence officials used the secret police station to track down a U.S. citizen who was a pro-democracy activist of Chinese descent living in California, according to the Justice Department. …

Mr. Lu and Mr. Chen are charged with conspiring to act as agents of the Chinese government. They are also charged with obstruction of justice for, according to authorities, deleting their communications with a Ministry of Public Service official after they became aware of the FBI’s investigation.

The two defendants appeared in a federal courtroom in Brooklyn on Monday afternoon but did not enter pleas. Mr. Lu was released on a $250,000 bond and Mr. Chen was released on a $400,000 bond, according to a spokesperson for Mr. Peace’s office.

If convicted, each defendant faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison on the conspiracy charge and a 20-year sentence on the obstruction of justice charge. …

Last year, the human rights organization Safeguard Defenders exposed more than 100 unauthorized CCP “police stations” in cities around the globe used to harass and surveil dissidents living in exile.

Safeguard said China was operating a secret police station in New York and three in Toronto. …

Pray the scripture: II Chronicles 32:9-23 and see what God does to nations that mock Him. Let us pray that every Chinese enterprise in this country, whether police stations spy balloons or land purchases will be taken out by God through human agency. Pray for the courage of the FBI, DOJ, and the President to have the backbone to actively oppose it.
