Chinese and US flags flutter near The Bund, before US trade delegation meet their Chinese counterparts for talks in Shanghai, China July 30, 2019.WASHINGTON - The US federal prosecutors on Wednesday accused Chinese government agents of trying to spy on and intimidate dissidents living in the US including a congressional candidate.
In one of the cases, federal prosecutors said a Chinese government agent approached a US private investigator to help manufacture a political scandal that would undermine a China-born man seeking the Democratic nomination to run for a New York seat in the US House of Representatives. The candidate was not identified in court documents but fits the description of Xiong Yan, who is seeking the Democratic nomination to run for a House seat representing the eastern part of New York's Long Island. The seat is held by Republican Lee Zeldin, who opted to run for governor rather than seek reelection.
Cho set a $1 million bond for Liu, with conditions including that he not visit China's consulate in New York.
