Chinese Government Agents Arrested for Attempting to Undermine Falun Gong in US
- Two suspected Chinese government agents were arrested for scheming to revoke the tax-exempt status of a US-based Falun Gong organization.
- The agents allegedly bribed a US federal agent posing as a tax official to advance a complaint against the Falun Gong group.
- The arrests are part of a broader US effort to disrupt China's campaign to target critics of the Chinese government living in exile in the US.
- Falun Gong is a spiritual group banned in China since 1999 that opposes the ruling Chinese Communist Party.
- The arrests come after two other men were accused of attempting to establish a secret Chinese police station in New York City.
