Wang Shujun, a 75-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen and prominent Chinese-American scholar, has been convicted of acting as an agent for China's Ministry of State Security (MSS). Posing as a pro-democracy activist, Wang spied on U.S. residents opposed to the Chinese Communist Party and shared their information with Chinese officials. He was found guilty on charges including acting as a foreign agent without notifying the U.S. attorney general and lying to U.S. authorities, with a potential sentence of up to 25 years in prison. Wang's defense argued he caused no harm and was a patriotic American. His sentencing is scheduled for January 9, 2025.
