New York Man Chen Jinping, 61, Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy for Operating Secret Chinese Police Station Facing Five-Year Sentence
Dec 18, 2024, 07:35 PM
Chen Jinping, a 61-year-old resident of New York, pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy charges related to operating a secret police station for the People's Republic of China (PRC) in lower Manhattan. Prosecutors stated that this covert facility was established by the Fuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau to intimidate and silence Chinese dissidents living in the United States. The guilty plea, announced on December 18, 2024, comes amid ongoing concerns regarding foreign interference and espionage activities on U.S. soil. Chen's actions were described as a direct affront to American sovereignty. He faces a potential sentence of up to five years in prison. Another suspect in the case, Lu Jianwang, is scheduled to appear in court in February 2025.
