The US on Tuesday convicted a Chinese-American academic of
illegally collecting information for Beijing.
Wang Shujun, 76, was found guilty on four counts including
acting as a foreign agent without notifying the US attorney
general and lying to US authorities. His sentence is scheduled
for January next year. He could face up to 25 years in prison.
Federal prosecutors said Wang portrayed himself as a proponent
of democracy in China and as an opponent of the ruling Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) to gain the trust of dissidents.
He was in correspondence with Hong Kong pro-democracy
activists, supporters of Taiwan declaring independence
and campaigners for western China's ethnic Uyghur and
Tibetan minority groups.
Prosecutors accused Wang of spying on the activists and
sharing information with Beijing's Ministry of State
Security (MSS).

A scorpion ...
I wonder how many pro-freedom players were later
found and assassinated by Beijing ?
But hey, the best place for a literal communist
agent - American Academia :-)
