United States prosecutors have charged a New York resident who took part in the Chinese pro-democracy movement that resulted in the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown with spying for China.
The Department of Justice (DoJ) said on Wednesday that Yuanjun Tang was charged with acting as an agent for China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) from 2018 to 2023, and “making materially false statements” to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Yuanjun had provided the MSS, the country’s principal intelligence agency, with information on “individuals and groups” viewed as “potentially adverse” to China’s interests, including “prominent US-based Chinese democracy activists and dissidents”, the DoJ said in a statement.
