Two complaints were unsealed and one amended complaint was authorized today in federal court in Brooklyn charging five defendants with various crimes related to efforts by the secret police of the People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC) to stalk, harass, and spy on Chinese nationals residing in Queens, New York and elsewhere in the United States.\u00a0 All of the defendants allegedly perpetrated transnational repression schemes to target U.S. residents whose political views and actions are disfavored by the PRC government, such as advocating for democracy in the PRC.\u00a0 In one of these schemes, the coconspirators sought to interfere with federal elections by allegedly orchestrating a campaign to undermine the U.S. congressional candidacy of a U.S. military veteran who was a leader of the 1989 pro-democracy demonstrations in Beijing, PRC.\u00a0 In another of these schemes, three defendants planned to destroy the artwork of a PRC national residing in Los Angeles, California that was critical of the PRC government, and planted surveillance equipment in the artist\u2019s workplace and car to spy on him from the PRC.<\/p>\n

Fan \u201cFrank\u201d Liu and Matthew Ziburis were arrested yesterday, while Shujun Wang was arrested this morning.\u00a0 All three arrests occurred in the Eastern District of New York.\u00a0 The defendants\u2019 initial appearances are scheduled this afternoon in Brooklyn before United States Magistrate Judge James R. Cho.\u00a0 The other two defendants remain at large.<\/p>\n

Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Matthew G. Olsen, Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department\u2019s National Security Division, Alan E. Kohler, Jr., Assistant Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s Counterintelligence Division (FBI), and Michael J. Driscoll, Assistant Director-in-Charge, FBI, New York Field Office, announced the arrests and charges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe complaints unsealed today reveal the outrageous and dangerous lengths to which the PRC government\u2019s secret police and these defendants have gone to attack the rule of law and freedom in New York City and elsewhere in the United States,\u201d stated United States Attorney Peace.\u00a0 \u201cAs alleged, all three cases involve campaigns to silence, harass, discredit and spy on U.S. residents for simply exercising their freedom of speech.\u00a0 The United States will not tolerate blatantly illegal actions that target U.S. residents, on U.S. soil, and undermine our treasured American values and rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTransnational repression harms people in the United States and around the world and threatens the rule of law itself,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Olsen. \u201cThis activity is antithetical to fundamental American values, and we will not tolerate it when it violates U.S. law.\u00a0The Department of Justice will defend the rights of Americans and those who come to live, work, and study in the United States. We will not allow any foreign government to impede their freedom of speech, to deny them the protection of our laws, or to threaten their safety or the safety of their families.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ministry of State Security is more than an intelligence collection agency. It executes the Chinese government\u2019s efforts to limit free speech, attack dissidents, and preserve the power of the Communist Party,\u201d stated FBI Assistant Director Kohler.\u00a0 \u201cWhen it exports those actions overseas, it violates the fundamental sovereignty of the US and becomes a national security threat. These indictments should serve as a stark warning to the MSS and all foreign intelligence agencies that their efforts at repression will not be tolerated within our borders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs alleged, all of the defendants charged today at the direction of the PRC secret police, engaged in a series of actions designed to silence the free speech of Chinese dissidents in the United States.\u00a0 Transnational repression schemes pose an increasing threat against U.S. residents who choose to speak out against the People\u2019s Republic of China and other regimes.\u00a0 The FBI is committed to protecting the free speech of all U.S. residents, and we simply will not tolerate the attempts of foreign governments to violate our laws and restrict our freedom,\u201d stated FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Driscoll.<\/p>\n

United States v. Qiming Lin<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

Lin is charged with conspiracy to commit interstate harassment, as well as conspiracy and attempt to use of a means of identification in connection with the interstate harassment conspiracy.<\/p>\n

As alleged, Lin, a citizen and resident of the PRC, works on behalf of the PRC\u2019s Ministry of State Security (MSS).\u00a0 The MSS is a civilian intelligence and secret police agency responsible for counterintelligence and political security.<\/p>\n

Beginning in September 2021, Lin hired a private investigator (the PI) in New York to disrupt the campaign of a Brooklyn resident currently running for U.S. Congress (the Victim), including by physically attacking the Victim.\u00a0 The Victim was a student leader of the pro\u00addemocracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square in 1989, who later escaped to the United States, served in the U.S. military, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen.\u00a0 In September 2021, the Victim (then living in Long Island) announced his intention to run for a U.S. congressional seat on Long Island in the November 2022 general election.<\/p>\n

In hiring the PI, Lin explained that if the Victim was selected during the June 2022 primary election, then he might be \u201celected to be a legislator.\u00a0 Right now we don\u2019t want him to be elected.\u201d\u00a0 Lin emphasized that \u201cWhatever price is fine.\u00a0 As long as you can do it.\u201d\u00a0 He also promised that \u201cwe will have a lot more-more of this [work] in the future . . . Including right now [a] New York State legislator.\u201d\u00a0 Lin explained to the PI that Lin was working with other unidentified individuals in the PRC to stop the Victim from being elected to U.S. Congress.<\/p>\n

As alleged, Lin first asked the PI to provide information about the Victim, including the Victim\u2019s address and phone number, which the PI later provided.\u00a0 Lin also requested that the PI unearth derogatory information about the Victim or, if no such information could be found, \u201cmanufacture something, like what happened to [a famous concert pianist (the Pianist)]?\u201d\u00a0 That request referred to an incident in Beijing in which the Pianist was reportedly detained after allegedly being found in the company of a prostitute.\u00a0 Lin later reiterated that, if the PI could not uncover a scandal, then \u201ccan they create some?\u201d\u00a0 Lin also encouraged the PI to \u201cgo find a girl . . . Or see how he goes for prostitution, take some photos, something of that nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

In December 2021, Lin proposed that the PI also consider physically attacking the Victim to prevent his candidacy.\u00a0 In a voice message to the PI, Lin stated:<\/p>\n

You can start thinking now, aside from violence, what other plans are there?\u00a0 Huh?\u00a0 But in the end, violence would be fine too.\u00a0 Huh?\u00a0 Beat him [chuckles], beat him until he cannot run for election.\u00a0 Heh, that\u2019s the-the last resort.\u00a0 You-you think about it.\u00a0 Car accident, [he] will be completely wrecked [chuckles], right?\u00a0 Don\u2019t know, eh, whatever ways from all different angles.\u00a0 Or, on the day of the election, he cannot make it there himself, right?<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s case is being handled by the Office\u2019s National Security and Cybercrime Section.\u00a0 Assistant United States Attorneys Alexander A. Solomon and David K. Kessler are in charge of the prosecution, with assistance from Trial Attorney Scott A. Claffee of the National Security Division\u2019s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section.<\/p>\n

United States v. Shujun Wang<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

Wang is charged with acting as an agent of the PRC government, criminal use of means of identification, and making materially false statements, in connection with his participation in a transnational repression scheme orchestrated by the MSS.<\/p>\n

As alleged, Wang, who lives in Flushing, Queens, is a former visiting scholar and author who helped start a pro-democracy organization in Queens that memorializes two former leaders of the Chinese Communist Party who promoted political and economic reforms within the PRC and were eventually forced from power.\u00a0 Since at least 2015, however, Wang has secretly operated at the direction and control of several MSS officers.<\/p>\n

At the direction of the MSS, Wang used his position and status within Chinese diaspora community in New York City to collect information about prominent activists, dissidents, and human rights leaders to report that information to the PRC government.\u00a0 While ostensibly lending a sympathetic ear, Wang reported on statements activists made in confidence to him, including on their views on democracy in the PRC, as well as planned speeches, writings, and demonstrations against the Chinese Communist Party.\u00a0 The victims of Wang\u2019s efforts included individuals and groups located in New York City and elsewhere\u00a0<\/b>that the PRC considers subversive, such as Hong Kong pro-democracy activists, advocates for Taiwanese independence, and Uyghur and Tibetan activists, both in the United States and abroad.\u00a0 Wang sent email \u201cdiaries\u201d to the MSS that contained details of his conversations with prominent dissidents, the activities of pro-democracy activists, as well as relevant phone numbers and other contact information for the targets of the PRC government.<\/p>\n

For example, in a series of communications on November 22, 2016, Wang\u2019s MSS handler instructed him to meet with a particular attendee at a pro-democracy event in Queens\u00a0<\/b>and to \u201caccomplish the task\u201d assigned by the \u201cBoss.\u201d The MSS handler emphasized that the attendee had contacts with \u201cTibetans, Uyghurs and Mongolians.\u201d\u00a0 Similarly, on November 16, 2016, Wang informed another MSS handler that he \u201cjust finished chatting\u201d with a prominent human rights activist and had asked the \u201cnecessary questions\u201d and received \u201ccandid\u201d answers.\u00a0 The MSS officer responded \u201cgreat\u201d and with a thumbs-up emoji, instructing Wang to record that information in a \u201cdiary.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April 2020, one victim about whom Wang reported\u2014the Hong Kong democracy activist identified in the complaint as \u201cHong Kong Dissident #1\u201d\u2014was arrested in Hong Kong and jailed on political charges.\u00a0 In addition, in April 2019, Wang flew from the PRC to John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens carrying a handwritten document with\u00a0<\/b>the names and non-public contact information for dozens of other well-known PRC dissidents, including other Hong Kong democracy activists who were subsequently arrested by the PRC in 2019 and 2020.<\/p>\n

The complaint also alleges that, during an interview in Queens on August 2, 2017, Wang lied to federal law enforcement, falsely denying that he had contacts with PRC officials or the MSS when in fact he had been secretly reporting on U.S. residents to the MSS.\u00a0 Wang later admitted much of his criminal conduct to an undercover member of law enforcement and during a subsequent interview with agents.<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s case is being handled by the Office\u2019s National Security and Cybercrime Section.\u00a0 Assistant United States Attorney Artie McConnell is in charge of the prosecution, with assistance from Trial Attorney Scott A. Claffee of the National Security Division\u2019s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, and Assistant United States Attorney Edward Chang of the United States Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Connecticut.<\/p>\n

United States v. Fan \u201cFrank\u201d Liu, Matthew Ziburis, and Qiang \u201cJason\u201d Sun<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

Liu and Ziburis are charged with conspiring to act as agents of the PRC government.\u00a0 Liu, Ziburis, and Sun are charged with conspiring to commit interstate harassment and criminal use of a means of identification.\u00a0 Liu and Sun are charged with conspiring to bribe a federal official in connection with their scheme to obtain the tax returns of a pro-democracy activist residing in the United States.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Liu, a resident of Jericho, Long Island, is president of a purported media company based in New York City, while Ziburis, a resident of Oyster Bay, Long Island, is a former correctional officer for the State of Florida and a bodyguard.\u00a0 Sun is a PRC-based employee of an international technology company.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Liu and Ziburis have been operating under Sun\u2019s direction and control to discredit pro-democracy PRC dissidents residing in the United States\u2014including in New York City, California, and Indiana\u2014by spying on them and disseminating negative information about them.\u00a0 For example, at Sun\u2019s direction, Liu paid a private investigator in Queens to bribe an Internal Revenue Service employee to obtain the federal tax returns of one of the dissidents.\u00a0 The private investigator was cooperating with law enforcement, and no Internal Revenue Service employee received a bribe payment.\u00a0 The defendants planned to publicly disclose the dissident\u2019s potential tax liabilities to discredit him.\u00a0 The coconspirators also made plans to destroy the artwork of a dissident artist whose work is critical of the PRC government, and the artist\u2019s sculpture depicting PRC President Xi Jinping as a coronavirus molecule was demolished in the Spring of 2021.\u00a0 Sun has paid both Liu and Ziburis for these efforts to stalk, harass, and surveil dissidents residing in the United States.<\/p>\n

As part of their efforts, the defendants electronically spied on the pro-democracy activists.\u00a0 For example, posing as an art dealer interested in purchasing the artwork of the dissident artist, Ziburis secretly installed surveillance cameras and GPS devices at the dissident\u2019s workplace and in his car.\u00a0 While in the PRC, Sun watched the live video feed and location data from these devices.\u00a0 The defendants made similar plans to install surveillance equipment at the residences and on the vehicles of two other dissidents.\u00a0 Liu and Ziburis planned to gain access to one such residence by posing as a member of an international sports committee.<\/p>\n

The defendants also planned to interview the dissidents in mock media sessions, using the cover of Liu\u2019s purported media organization.\u00a0 Sun provided outlines for these fake interviews and designed questions to elicit answers that were intended to humiliate or discredit the dissidents.\u00a0 The defendants intended that audio or video clips of these statements could be used in PRC propaganda materials targeting the dissidents.<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s case is being handled by the Office\u2019s National Security and Cybercrime Section.\u00a0 Assistant United States Attorneys Alexander A. Solomon and Emily J. Dean are in charge of the prosecution, with assistance from Brian D. Morris of the Office\u2019s Asset Forfeiture Section, Trial Attorney Scott A. Claffee of the National Security Division\u2019s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, and Assistant United States Attorney Christopher D. Grigg of the United States Attorney\u2019s Office for the Central District of California.<\/p>\n
