US arrests two for setting up Chinese 'secret police station' in New York
United States law enforcement officials on Monday arrested two New York residents for allegedly operating a Chinese"secret police station" in Manhattan's Chinatown, part of a crackdown on Beijing's alleged targeting of US-based dissidents.
The Chinese government has said there are centers outside China run by local volunteers, not Chinese police officers, that aim to help Chinese citizens renew documents and offer other services. Additionally, prosecutors on Monday unveiled charges against 34 Chinese officials for allegedly operating a"troll farm" and harassing dissidents online, including by disrupting their meetings on US technology platforms.
Peace said the site was being used"at the very least" for government services like helping some Chinese citizens renew their drivers licenses' — activity that should have been disclosed to US authorities. But he said it was also used for more"sinister" activities.
