Inside the Chinese Police Station in NYC

Months after FBI counterintelligence agents reportedly raided the Manhattan office of an alleged Chinese police station on U.S. soil, several people appear to continue to work from the location. That’s what it looked like when I walked into the building that houses it Thursday afternoon.

The New York Times reported earlier this month that during the search conducted sometime “last fall,” the FBI seized certain materials as part of a broader criminal investigation in tandem with federal prosecutors in Brooklyn. Before the FBI raid, the nonprofit group Safeguard Defenders revealed the existence of the “overseas service station” — which is allegedly operated by the city of Fuzhou’s security bureau — in a study citing Chinese government statements and media reports.
