US Arrests Chinese Dissident for Alleged Espionage

Yuanjun Tang, a naturalized US citizen, is accused of spying on Chinese democracy activists for Beijing's intelligence service.

Tang allegedly provided information on US-based Chinese dissidents to China's Ministry of State Security.
He is charged with acting as an unregistered agent of China and making false statements to the FBI.
Tang defected to Taiwan in 2002 and was later granted asylum in the US.
Prosecutors claim Tang's espionage activities spanned from 2018 to 2023.
The FBI recovered extensive evidence, including emails and encrypted messages, linking Tang to Chinese intelligence.
