US authorities arrested two men Monday, April 17 for allegedly setting up a Chinese"police station" in New York and charged dozens of Chinese security officials over a campaign to monitor and harass US-based dissidents.
But in fact, their main job was to help track down and harass fugitive dissidents from the People's Republic of China , US officials said. They often operate with little or no indication they are there—though US officials said the Manhattan office had been visited by officials from the Chinese consulate in New York.
The indictees are allegedly members of the"912 Special Project Working Group," which the Justice Department described as an MPS task force set up"to target Chinese dissidents located throughout the world, including in the United States." The new indictment says the employee, Julien Jin,"worked directly with and took orders from" the MPS and Cyberspace Administration.
