Two men have been arrested after US police discovered a covert Chinese Police Station on behalf of the Chinese government in New York City on Monday.
According to US authorities, at least 30 officers from China’s national police force have been arrested and charged with harassing dissidents through social media while in the US.
The cases are believed to be a part of a larger number of prosecutions by the Justice Department over the past several years.
The arrests come as the US work to prevent the Chinese Government from locating pro-democracy activists who openly oppose Beijing’s current political policies.
