The alleged leader of a secret Chinese government “police station” housed in a nondescript Manhattan building was urged to help track a prominent pro-Democracy dissident, a jury heard this week. “Just help me verify if this person exists,” wrote Liu Rongyan, a security officer from China’s Fujian Province, to “Harry” Lu Jianwang, according to evidence revealed at Lu’s ongoing Brooklyn federal court trial. The missive involved Xu Jie, a longtime critic of China’s government who fled the country in 2013.
