The U.S. Department of Justice has charged five Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents with spying on, harassing, and smearing Chinese dissidents on behalf of the Chinese secret service. One of the men was a non-Chinese national, Matthew Ziburis, who was assigned to spy on U.S. Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu and her father, Arthur Liu.

Arthur Liu, an attorney, told The Epoch Times, “I was told by the FBI in October of last year that Chinese spies were collecting personal information about me and my daughter, including passports, passport numbers, copies of passports, etc. I only learned about it then.”
