纽约，5月13日（路透社）——一名纽约男子周三被判有罪，罪名是充当未注册的中国政府特工。联邦检察官指控他代表北京在曼哈顿华埠设立了一处“秘密警察站”。
布鲁克林的联邦检察官表示，64岁的卢建旺在2022年协助开设所谓的警察站时，本应告知美国司法部长他是中国特工。他们还称，卢帮助中国政府找到了一名居住在加利福尼亚州的亲民主活动人士。

卢于2023年4月被捕。他对三项重罪指控拒不认罪：共谋充当未注册外国特工、充当未注册中国特工以及妨碍司法公正。
布鲁克林联邦法院的陪审团经过为期一周的审判后作出了上述裁决。卢最高可被判处30年监禁。
“希望今天的判决能向其他外国特工发出明确信号——联邦调查局将坚定不移地揭露并破坏敌对国家的秘密行动，”联邦调查局布鲁克林分局助理局长詹姆斯·巴纳克尔在判决声明中说道。
近年来，美国司法部一直在加大对所谓“跨国镇压”的调查力度，这类行为指中国、伊朗等美国敌对势力恐吓居住在美国境内的政治对手。

中国称指控纯属捏造
中国政府称此案中的指控是“捏造的”，是抹黑中国形象的企图。北京方面表示，中国在海外设有由当地志愿者运营的服务中心，而非中国警官，这些中心旨在帮助中国公民补办证件并提供其他服务。
5月6日的开场陈述中，检察官林赛·奥肯表示，卢是归化美国公民，与中国执法部门有关联，并在2022年访华期间会见了 tasked him with opening the station的官员（注：此处原文为 tasked him with opening the station，译为“指派他开设该站点”）。
奥肯称，卢在华埠一栋不起眼的办公楼内运营该站点。她表示，卢最初只是帮助居住在纽约的中国公民补办驾照，如果未向美国政府披露相关情况，该行为本身就属于犯罪。
奥肯还称，卢还同意帮助中国政府找到一名居住在美国的亲民主活动人士。检方并未指控该活动人士受到伤害。
卢的律师约翰·卡曼表示，其当事人同意开设该服务中心，是为了帮助因新冠疫情无法回国补办证件的中国公民。但卡曼称，中国政府并未指派卢开展相关工作。
与卢一同被捕的共同被告陈金平于2024年认罪，承认共谋充当未注册的中国特工。
此次逮捕行动源于西班牙维权组织“保障卫士”2022年发布的一项调查报道。该报道称，中国在海外设立了“服务站”，包括纽约的站点，这些站点与中国警方非法合作，迫使逃犯返回中国。

- Summary
- Lu Jianwang arrested in 2023 on charges of acting as Chinese agent
- Prosecutors say Lu operated the station out of a Chinatown office building
- Lu pleaded not guilty; lawyer says he did not act at Beijing’s direction
NEW YORK, May 13 (Reuters) – A New York man was found guilty on Wednesday of acting as an unregistered agent of the Chinese government after a trial over federal prosecutors’ allegations that he operated a “secret police station” on behalf of Beijing in Manhattan’s Chinatown neighborhood.
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn said Lu Jianwang, 64, should have alerted the U.S. Attorney General that he was a Chinese agent when he helped open the so-called police station in 2022. They also said he helped China’s government locate a pro-democracy activist living in California.

Lu was arrested in April 2023. He had pleaded not guilty to the three felony charges he faced: conspiracy to act as an unregistered foreign agent, acting as an unregistered agent of China, and obstruction of justice.
A jury in Brooklyn federal court reached the verdict after a weeklong trial. Lu faces up to 30 years in prison.
“May today’s verdict send a message to other foreign agents–the FBI maintains its unwavering resolve to reveal and disrupt the clandestine operations of adversarial nations,” said FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Barnacle in an announcement of the verdict.
The Justice Department has in recent years been ramping up probes into what it calls “transnational repression” by U.S. adversaries such as China and Iran to intimidate political opponents living in the United States.

CHINA CALLS CHARGES FABRICATED
China’s government has called the charges in the case “fabricated” and part of an effort to smear the country’s image. Beijing has said there are centers outside China run by local volunteers, not Chinese police officers, that aim to help Chinese citizens renew documents and offer other services.
In her opening statement on May 6, prosecutor Lindsey Oken said Lu – a naturalized U.S. citizen – had ties with Chinese law enforcement and met with officials who tasked him with opening the station during a trip to China in 2022.
Oken said Lu ran the station out of a nondescript office building in Chinatown. She said he started out by helping Chinese nationals living in New York with renewing driver’s licenses, which alone is a crime if not disclosed to the U.S. government.
Oken said Lu also agreed to help the Chinese government locate a pro-democracy activist living in the United States. Prosecutors did not allege that the activist was harmed.
John Carman, a lawyer for Lu, said his client agreed to open the center to help Chinese nationals who were unable to travel to the country to renew documents due to the COVID pandemic. But Carman said Lu was not tasked with doing so by the Chinese government.
A co-defendant arrested alongside Lu, Chen Jinping, pleaded guilty in 2024 to conspiring to act as an unregistered Chinese agent.
The arrests followed a 2022 investigation published by Spain-based advocacy group Safeguard Defenders that reported China had set up overseas “service stations,” including in New York, that illegally worked with Chinese police to pressure fugitives to return to China.
