Beijing ran a secret police station in Manhattan and the press barely noticed

A federal jury just convicted a guy for running a Chinese government police station. In Manhattan. 107 East Broadway. FBI raided it in October 2022. Pulled a banner off the wall that read — I'm quoting this exactly — 'Fuzhou Police Overseas Service Station, New York, USA.' That's not a community center. That's Beijing running law enforcement on American soil. Prosecutors said they used it to monitor pro-democracy dissidents. Track down a guy hiding in California. Delete instructions from the Ministry of Public Security. Thirty of these stations opened globally. Thirty. DOJ called this the first criminal case of its kind in the country. You hear about it? Because I barely did. If Iran set up an intimidation office in Lower Manhattan you'd hear about nothing else for a decade. China does it and it's a footnote. That's not an accident. Take note.
