Chinese plot to smear US Congress hopeful unveiled
Unsealed files have revealed a plot by five people working on behalf of Chinese secret police to stalk and harass a US military veteran running for Congress, and to spy on an artist. It is the first time, they say, a federal election campaign has been undermined in this way in America. The perpetrators went to "outrageous and dangerous" lengths to do so, the Department of Justice said. Three of the accused have been arrested, but two are at large.
