A local Chinatown community leader ran a secret Chinese spy outpost out of a nondescript Manhattan office building — helping his communist handlers track a pro-democracy dissident, prosecutors charged Wednesday. Lu Jianwang, who goes by Harry Lu, “opened a satellite office for the Chinese government in the heart of New York City,” prosecutor Lindsey Oken told jurors at the start of a Brooklyn federal court trial expected to shed light on Beijing’s alleged shadowy US influence campaign. Lu, a Bronx resident who has been a naturalized US citizen for decades, “was living in New York City but he was working for the Chinese government,” the prosecutor added.
