A complaint and arrest warrants
were unsealed today in federal court in Brooklyn charging eight defendants with conspiring to act in the United States as illegal agents of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
Six defendants also face related charges of conspiring to commit interstate and international stalking.
The defendants, allegedly acting at the direction and under the control of PRC government officials,
conducted surveillance of and engaged in a campaign to harass, stalk, and coerce certain residents of the United States to return to the PRC as part of a global, concerted, and extralegal repatriation effort known as “Operation Fox Hunt.”
Zhu Yong,
Hongru Jin, and
Michael McMahon
were arrested today and will be arraigned this afternoon via teleconference before U.S. Magistrate Judge Peggy Kuo.
Rong Jing and
Zheng Congying
were arrested in the Central District of California, and their initial appearances will take place in that district later today.
Zhu Feng,
Hu Ji, and
Li Minjun remain at large.
“With today’s charges, we have turned the PRC’s Operation Fox Hunt on its head —
the hunters became the hunted, the pursuers the pursued,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers.
The five defendants the FBI arrested this morning on these charges of illegally doing the bidding of the Chinese government here in the United States now
face the prospect of prison.
For those charged in China and others engaged in this type of conduct, our message is clear: stay out.
This behavior is not welcome here.
