Chinese Agents Sued for Pursuing Dissidents in US, Beijing Mouthpiece Defends Hunt as Lawful Effort Against Corruption
Eight individuals, including seven people of Chinese origin, were charged by the US Department of Justice on 28 October with pursuing and forcing the return of Chinese dissidents in America in an effort known as “Operation Fox Hunt.” According to the US authorities, the defendants were engaged in locating the homes and whereabouts of their targets and their families. In one case, the target’s elderly father was forcibly taken from China to the US as a threat. In another instance, a note was posted at the target’s residence, saying that the target’s wife and children would be fine as long as he was willing to return to China and serve 10 years in prison.
Following the announcement of the charges, the state-run Chinese tabloid Global Times and its editor-in-chief Hu Xijin claimed that the “foxes” in question were “economic criminals” and that the pursuit was an anti-corruption effort. They criticized the US for coveting the money these criminals had brought with them and having no wish for their return to China. They further claimed that those involved in the operation had always abided by the law and that the prosecution was a “political attack.”
