In New York City’s Chinatown, the exotic and the practical attract tourists and locals — all looking for a piece of China on every corner. But hidden from public view on these busy streets is a secret that has captured the attention of the U.S. government.
That secret first came to light this past fall when the European human rights organization Safeguard Defenders revealed the locations of more than 100 suspected Chinese police"service stations" around the world, including in New York. The group says Chinese law enforcement quietly set up these outposts to track, harass and repatriate Chinese citizens. In the U.S.
"They even say, 'we have a camera everywhere. We take video everywhere, and we can send this stuff back to China,'" Gao said. "China has the strategic intent to influence worldwide," said Jon Darby, former director of operations for the NSA. INGBER: How good is China at tracking some of their own down?
We wanted to know if Changle associates were involved in the same kind of intimidation campaign, so we headed to the outpost. From the outside, there’s no indication of what may be going on here, above a ramen shop. It’s surrounded by stores, restaurants, hotels — the everyday bustle of New York. We asked for his boss's business card. The name on the card — Jimmy Lu — a campaign donor to lawmakers. We called, texted and emailed. He did not respond.
