Jury convicts man accused of running secret Chinese spy outpost in New York City
Jurors found Lu guilty of acting as an unauthorized Chinese agent and obstruction, while acquitting him on a related conspiracy charge.
- On Wednesday, a Brooklyn federal jury convicted Lu Jianwang, a 64-year-old Bronx resident, of acting as an illegal foreign agent and obstruction of justice, while acquitting him of a federal conspiracy charge.
- In 2022, Lu and co-defendant Chen Jinping allegedly established an unauthorized police station in Manhattan's Chinatown under China's Ministry of Public Security, though the defense contended it was merely a community center.
- During an October 3, 2022, FBI raid on the America ChangLe Association offices, investigators seized computers and cellphones, uncovering deleted WeChat messages and a banner reading "Fuzhou Police Overseas Service Station."
- Lu faces up to 30 years in prison pending sentencing, though defense lawyer John Carman said he plans to appeal while Lu remains free on bail.
