“Over the past week, the Department of Justice has taken several measures to disrupt the criminal activities of those working on behalf of the People’s Republic of China,” Garland said in a statement.

He filed charges against “two PRC intelligence officers, accusing them of trying to influence and obstruct criminal proceedings against a telecommunications company based in the PRC.”

“Two men, Guochun He and Zheng Wang, are accused of trying to steer a US government person they believed was cooperating to provide confidential information about a Justice Department investigation, including witnesses, trial evidence, and potential new allegations. One. of the defendants paid about $ 61,000 for this information. ” The Department of Justice said.

The person reached by the accused men began working as a double agent for the US government and contact with the accused was overseen by the FBI.

The company targeted by the accusation is not mentioned in the documents, although the references clearly indicate that it is Huawei, which was accused in 2019 of banking fraud and then conspiracy to steal trade secrets.

Garland has also filed allegations on two other cases – one on theft of technology and intimidation, and the other on a pressure campaign to get a naturalized US citizen to return to China against his will.

They filed petty lawsuits against the victim and her son and said it would be “an endless misfortune for the accused and the son to defend themselves.” They made it clear that their harassment would not stop until the victim returned to China, “he added.
