Chen Jinping has pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges related to operating a secret Chinese police station in lower Manhattan. The U.S. Justice Department confirmed the plea, stating that Jinping conspired to act as an agent of the Chinese government, specifically working for the Ministry of Public Security. This police station was allegedly established to intimidate and harass dissidents residing in the United States. Another suspect in the case, Lu Jianwang, is scheduled to appear in court in February 2025. The guilty plea was anticipated and follows accusations made by prosecutors last year regarding the activities of the suspects.
