Shujun Wang, a 75-year-old Chinese national, has been convicted of acting and conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government. Wang was involved with a pro-democracy group in Queens, the Hu Yaobang Memorial Foundation, which he co-founded. Prosecutors claim that Wang led a double life for over a decade, presenting himself as a critic of the Chinese government while secretly working on its behalf.
The indictment could have been the plot of a spy novel, but the evidence is shockingly real that the defendant was a secret agent for the Chinese government.
The indictment could have been the plot of a John LeCarre or Graham Greene spy novel, but the evidence is shockingly real that the defendant led a double life, pretending for years to be an activist for democracy while he was secretly passing information to the Chinese government.
