Convictions in US Trial Expose China's 'Operation Fox Hunt' Pressure Plot.

A federal jury in Brooklyn has convicted three defendants of acting and conspiring to act as illegal agents of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and two defendants of interstate stalking of Chinese nationals in the United States. The defendants participated in an international campaign with members of the PRC government as part of “Operation Fox Hunt” to threaten, harass, surveil and intimidate John Doe #1 and his family, in order to force John Doe #1 and his wife, Jane Doe #1, to return to the PRC. The operation was supervised and directed by several PRC officials, including co-conspirators Hu Ji, a PRC police officer with the Wuhan Public Security Bureau and Tu Lan, a PRC prosecutor with the Wuhan Procuratorate.
