FBI Counterintelligence Raided Chinese Police Station in New York

The FBI raided a Chinese police station in Manhattan last year, seizing documents from the facility in a criminal investigation into China’s overseas presence in the U.S., the New York Times reported today.

The paper revealed that the search took place last year, at a Chinatown facility scrutinized for its alleged role as a branch of the security bureau of the city of Fuzhou, citing people knowledgeable of the probe. The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn — which the Times reported was involved in the raid — declined to comment for the Times story.
