A Chinese national has been sentenced to two years in prison for his role in Beijing’s extralegal campaign called “Operation Fox Hunt,” which sought to pressure expatriates to return to China.

Zhu Yong, 68, a Chinese retiree and lawful U.S. permanent resident, was one of three individuals indicted in 2023 on various charges related to surveilling, harassing, and stalking a former Chinese official named Xu Jin and his family living in suburban New Jersey.
