Xiong Yan, currently running for Congress in New York’s 10th Congressional District, accuses China’s consulate in New York of “deeply interfering with the U.S. election.” Xiong said that the United States government should shut it down.
Xiong is a retired major who served in the U.S. Army for 27 years and a Protestant chaplain. Before coming to the United States he was a student leader of the peaceful protest for democracy held on Tiananmen Square, Beijing, in 1989 before it was violently crushed by the Chinese regime.
