Chen Jinping, 60, Pleads Guilty to Running Secret Chinese Police Station in Manhattan; Sentencing Set for May 30, 2024
Dec 19, 2024, 12:39 AM
Chen Jinping, a 60-year-old resident of Manhattan, pleaded guilty on December 18 to conspiring to act as an illegal agent of the People's Republic of China (PRC). This plea is connected to his role in operating a secret police station in lower Manhattan, which was established by the PRC's Ministry of Public Security. According to prosecutors, the station was used to intimidate and monitor Chinese dissidents living in the United States. Chen's actions were part of a broader campaign by Beijing to suppress dissent among its diaspora. He is scheduled for sentencing on May 30, 2024. Another individual, Lu Jianwang, is also implicated in the case but has pleaded not guilty and is set to face trial in February 2025.
