Chinese Academic Shujun Wang Convicted of Acting as Foreign Agent in U.S., Faces 25 Years
Aug 6, 2024, 05:43 PM
A Chinese academic, Shujun Wang, was convicted on Tuesday of illegally acting as a foreign agent in the United States by collecting information about New York-based activists supporting democracy in China and sharing his findings with Beijing. Wang, a Queens resident who posed as a pro-democracy dissident, faces up to 25 years in prison. He was convicted of acting and conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government without prior notification to the U.S. Attorney General. The case, which echoes China's 'Fox Hunt' operations, also involves Feng He, Jie Ji, Ming Li, and Keqing Lu, who remain at large. Sentencing is set for January 9.
