A Queens man was convicted of acting as a spy for the Chinese Communist Party, providing contact information of dissidents, and lying to federal officers.
Prosecutors accused Mr. Wang of collecting information on Chinese nationals in New York and targeting groups like Hong Kong democracy activists, Taiwan independence supporters, and Uyghur activists.
The case reflects the Justice Department's focus on prosecuting Chinese government's transnational repression, trying to control its citizens abroad through intimidation and harassment.
