Shujun Wang, a Chinese-born academic and naturalized U.S. citizen, has been convicted of acting as a covert agent for China.

He was arrested in March 2022 and now faces up to 25 years in prison. The U.S. Justice Department announced the conviction, highlighting Wang's betrayal of the dissident community. Sentencing is set for January 9. Several co-conspirators, Feng He, Jie Ji, Ming Li, and Keqing Lu, remain at large.
