New York Dems Received Thousands from Alleged Chinese Police Station Operatives

Top New York Democrats, including Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, received thousands of dollars in campaign donations from people alleged to have set up a Chinese police station in Lower Manhattan.

Jianwang Lu, one of the defendants in a federal case involving the illegal Chinese-government outpost, allegedly acted on behalf of the Chinese authorities to locate exiled dissidents on U.S. soil. Noting the effort to locate such dissidents, Breon Peace, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said that the station “had a more sinister use” than Beijing claimed.
