China Convicted of Orchestrating Harassment Campaign in U.S. Through Operation Fox Hunt

Three men were found guilty of stalking a New Jersey family on behalf of the Chinese government as part of Operation Fox Hunt, China's effort to pressure dissidents abroad into returning home.
Retired NYPD officer Michael McMahon and two Chinese nationals living in the U.S. were convicted of harassing Xu Jin and his wife, Liu Fang, with the aim of forcing them to return to China, where Xu faces corruption charges.
The case was the first of several tied to Operation Fox Hunt schemes in which the U.S. alleges Chinese law enforcement used intimidation tactics to repatriate regime critics living abroad.
China denies using coercion and says it is solely pursuing fugitives accused of crimes in China.
The trial came amid heightened tensions in the U.S.-China relationship over trade, technology, human rights and geopolitical power.
