Chen Jinping, 60, has pleaded guilty to conspiring to act as an agent of the Chinese government by operating an undeclared police station in Manhattan. This facility provided some services for Chinese citizens while also assisting in locating pro-democracy activists in the U.S. U.S. prosecutors highlighted this as part of a broader crackdown on foreign government interference aimed at targeting local diaspora communities. Chen faces up to five years in prison upon sentencing, reflecting the serious implications of transnational repression activities. The case underscores growing concerns over foreign influence and violations of U.S. sovereignty.
