A Chinese American man cultivated ties with Chinese officials for years, reporting on Falun Gong practitioners to gain Chinese officials’ trust and confidence before he helped the Chinese regime turn their vision of a police outpost in New York into a reality, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Antoinette Rangel at the close of his trial in Brooklyn federal court Tuesday.

Lu Jianwang, 64, a community leader and former president of the America ChangLe Association, was on trial in Brooklyn federal court as an agent of the Chinese regime for operating an undeclared outpost of China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS) on U.S. soil.
