Two Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation that would direct the Biden administration to close the Consulate General of China and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in New York City, following the arrest of two people on charges of operating a secret police station in the city on behalf of the Chinese regime.
Reps. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) and Lance Gooden (R-Texas) seek to expel Chinese Communist Party (CCP) “diplomats ” from New York City. In a statement, Tiffany cited a report about a secret police station in New York, believed to be one of more than 100 such stations operated by CCP agents around the world, as well as the arrest of more than 40 people, most of them officers in China’s Ministry of Public Security.
