00:00:10.802 --> 00:00:14.556
Five in custody as of right now,
awaiting appearances in court.

00:00:14.889 --> 00:00:18.351
The allegations read
like something out of a spy novel.

00:00:18.685 --> 00:00:23.898
Stalking, spying, all on behalf
of the Chinese Communist Party.

00:00:24.524 --> 00:00:29.487
All of these victims were targeted
because of their pro-democracy views.

00:00:30.071 --> 00:00:33.450
And one shows a campaign
to surveil and harass

00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:37.454
an artist engaged in free
and peaceful expression.

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:20.371
It's a crazy story.

00:01:21.790 --> 00:01:23.083
Justice Department charging five people

00:01:23.083 --> 00:01:25.543
with stalking, harassing and spying on

00:01:25.543 --> 00:01:27.837
Chinese dissidents living in America.

00:01:28.088 --> 00:01:29.380
This investigation is still ongoing, Nicole.

00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:31.132
More arrests possible.

00:01:31.132 --> 00:01:33.927
The scheme also involved plans to spy on the dissidents.

00:01:35.053 --> 00:01:37.847
Ziburis pretended to be an art dealer

00:01:37.847 --> 00:01:40.350
in order to meet with the dissident artist.

00:01:40.391 --> 00:01:42.477
While meeting with the dissident,

00:01:42.477 --> 00:01:45.647
Ziburis surreptitiously installed surveillance cameras

00:01:46.147 --> 00:01:47.190
and GPS devices

00:01:47.190 --> 00:01:50.652
around the dissident’s workplace and on his car.

00:03:06.477 --> 00:03:08.563
At today's hearing of the Congressional-Executive Commission

00:03:08.563 --> 00:03:09.355
on China,

00:03:09.355 --> 00:03:11.441
the threat of transnational repression from China

00:03:11.441 --> 00:03:13.193
and the U.S. response will come to order.

00:03:14.068 --> 00:03:16.696
In this hearing, we will examinate part of that toolset

00:03:16.696 --> 00:03:18.406
that targets individuals and communities

00:03:18.406 --> 00:03:19.949
at a very personal level.

00:03:19.949 --> 00:03:21.784
Transnational repression.

00:03:22.076 --> 00:03:25.747
This long arm of authoritarianism across borders

00:03:25.997 --> 00:03:28.291
is not just a violation of human rights,

00:03:28.291 --> 00:03:31.753
it is a violation of countries’ national sovereignty.

00:03:31.753 --> 00:03:33.379
You know last year on June 4th,

00:03:33.379 --> 00:03:35.423
to commemorate the 32nd anniversary

00:03:35.423 --> 00:03:37.425
of the horrific Tiananmen Square massacre,

00:03:37.425 --> 00:03:40.595
I attended the unveiling of a work of art

00:03:40.595 --> 00:03:44.015
at Liberty Sculpture Park in Yermo, California.

00:03:44.015 --> 00:03:46.726
There, the Chinese immigrant sculptor Chen Weiming

00:03:46.726 --> 00:03:51.022
introduced an iconic work entitled “CCP Virus.”

00:03:51.314 --> 00:03:52.899
A little over a month later however,

00:03:52.899 --> 00:03:55.068
the sculpture had been burned to the ground.

00:03:55.068 --> 00:03:58.238
As this incident suggests,
today's hearing is so timely,

00:03:58.238 --> 00:04:00.198
because China's long arm of repression

00:04:00.198 --> 00:04:03.243
is not something that occurs “over there”

00:04:03.243 --> 00:04:05.578
but right here in the United States of America.

00:07:13.683 --> 00:07:16.060
We're taking a look at the
Tiananmen Square anniversary.

00:07:16.060 --> 00:07:17.437
Our guest here from New York,

00:07:17.437 --> 00:07:20.189
Juntao Wang,
a Chinese democracy advocate.

00:07:20.815 --> 00:07:24.986
Mr. Wang, are there still
some of your associates from those days

00:07:24.986 --> 00:07:28.156
who are still in prison
or facing oppression from the government?

00:07:29.031 --> 00:07:30.908
You know, after the crackdown,

00:07:30.908 --> 00:07:35.329
many Chinese were arrested and got punished
from the government including me.

00:07:35.538 --> 00:07:39.500
In 1991, I got 30 years from my government

00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:42.336
because of my involvement in the movement.

00:07:42.336 --> 00:07:44.630
I was jailed in a small jail

00:07:44.630 --> 00:07:46.549
and I got a severe disease

00:07:47.133 --> 00:07:49.385
and without medical treatment.

00:07:49.385 --> 00:07:54.098
But because my relatives and my family members

00:07:54.098 --> 00:07:56.976
told the international world
what happened to me,

00:07:56.976 --> 00:08:00.980
and then the international world
gave a very strong response.

00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:05.109
In 1994, under the request from the former President Clinton,

00:08:05.109 --> 00:08:08.237
Chinese government sent me to the United States.

00:08:08.237 --> 00:08:10.198
And are you permitted to go back to China?

00:08:10.198 --> 00:08:10.531
No.

00:08:10.531 --> 00:08:12.992
When I was sent here,

00:08:13.201 --> 00:08:15.328
the government told me

00:08:15.328 --> 00:08:18.164
when I got healthy,

00:08:18.164 --> 00:08:19.999
I could go back to China.

00:08:19.999 --> 00:08:21.083
But up till now,

00:08:21.083 --> 00:08:23.336
I still wait for the Chinese government’s

00:08:23.336 --> 00:08:25.171
response about my request.

00:11:57.425 --> 00:11:59.468
Hi, how’re you?

00:11:59.802 --> 00:12:01.053
Hi ma’am, how’re you doing?

00:12:01.053 --> 00:12:01.721
How’re you?

00:12:01.721 --> 00:12:03.347
I'm fine, thank you.

00:17:21.373 --> 00:17:23.459
Free, free China!

00:17:23.459 --> 00:17:25.252
Free, free China!

00:17:25.252 --> 00:17:27.129
Free, free China!

00:17:27.129 --> 00:17:28.922
Free, free China!

00:17:28.922 --> 00:17:30.382
Democracy China!

00:17:30.382 --> 00:17:32.092
Democracy China!

00:17:32.092 --> 00:17:33.635
Human rights China!

00:17:33.635 --> 00:17:35.387
Human rights China!

00:17:50.694 --> 00:17:59.328
Free, free China!

00:17:59.328 --> 00:18:01.997
Democracy China!

00:18:01.997 --> 00:18:02.748
Freedom!

00:18:02.748 --> 00:18:03.373
China!

00:18:03.373 --> 00:18:04.208
Freedom!

00:18:04.208 --> 00:18:04.875
China!

00:18:04.875 --> 00:18:05.584
Freedom!

00:18:05.584 --> 00:18:06.251
China!

00:18:24.937 --> 00:18:26.313
Within half an hour...

00:18:26.313 --> 00:18:27.689
Do me a favor.
Stop circling.

00:18:27.689 --> 00:18:29.316
I don’t like people in the back of me.

00:18:35.364 --> 00:18:36.365
In a half...

00:18:36.365 --> 00:18:37.366
Let me see.

00:18:38.367 --> 00:18:39.409
Forty.

00:18:39.409 --> 00:18:40.536
- Forty?
- Yeah. Forty.

00:18:40.536 --> 00:18:40.953
Okay.

00:19:01.974 --> 00:19:04.726
Their gate is right back here
to the embassy.

00:19:05.394 --> 00:19:08.814
So being in the area
of the gate is technically

00:19:09.731 --> 00:19:12.401
interfering with their pathway
in and from.

00:19:12.651 --> 00:19:13.694
They told me to...

00:19:26.790 --> 00:19:28.792
Did you give them
the message I told you?

00:19:29.459 --> 00:19:31.170
Do you have an answer for me?

00:21:45.012 --> 00:21:46.179
Are you recording?

00:21:47.764 --> 00:21:48.640
Yes.

00:21:52.769 --> 00:21:54.688
Are you able to translate for us?

00:21:55.647 --> 00:21:56.940
Sure.

00:22:00.068 --> 00:22:02.946
Would you mind telling her

00:22:02.946 --> 00:22:04.448
that when we spoke yesterday,

00:22:04.448 --> 00:22:08.285
we told her that during the event,
she has to relocate for a few hours,

00:22:08.285 --> 00:22:11.371
but can keep protesting?

00:22:31.391 --> 00:22:32.768
I’m trying to make this
as easy as possible.

00:22:32.768 --> 00:22:33.894
I'll give you about
10 minutes.

00:22:33.894 --> 00:22:35.687
I'll come back out
and check on you.

00:22:35.687 --> 00:22:37.272
If not, then...

00:22:38.357 --> 00:22:40.734
we'll have some officers
assist you in moving everything.

00:24:32.387 --> 00:24:35.140
Glock.

00:25:55.011 --> 00:25:58.723
There were orders from the university
leadership to take it down,

00:25:58.723 --> 00:26:01.685
and that's what happened
under the cover of darkness

00:26:01.685 --> 00:26:04.354
during the Christmas holiday
when most people were off campus.

00:26:30.422 --> 00:26:32.924
A million demonstrators
have filled the streets of Beijing

00:26:32.924 --> 00:26:35.218
and there have been
demonstrations for democracy

00:26:35.218 --> 00:26:39.222
in all but two of China's
26 provinces and regions.

00:26:39.222 --> 00:26:41.016
In such a revolutionary situation,

00:26:41.016 --> 00:26:43.059
the atmosphere is pregnant with rumor.

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:45.604
Will the government move troops in
to break up the demonstrations?

00:26:45.895 --> 00:26:48.732
I don't think they will take action.

00:26:48.898 --> 00:26:53.278
Meeting in the Great Hall of the People,
Premier Li Peng declared,

00:26:53.278 --> 00:26:56.031
“The social order of Beijing
is in chaos.”

00:27:09.085 --> 00:27:10.211
The brutal assault

00:27:10.211 --> 00:27:13.048
by an estimated 30,000 Chinese troops

00:27:13.048 --> 00:27:16.009
ended at Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing,

00:27:16.009 --> 00:27:19.638
where thousands of students
have been staging a sit-in for democracy

00:27:19.638 --> 00:27:21.348
for the past three weeks.

00:27:24.726 --> 00:27:29.397
After hours of shooting
and facing a line of troops,

00:27:29.397 --> 00:27:31.650
the crowd is still here.

00:27:31.650 --> 00:27:34.027
They’re shouting,
“Stop the killing!”

00:27:34.027 --> 00:27:35.695
and “Down with the government!”

00:27:36.655 --> 00:27:40.367
Soldiers fired automatic weapons
into crowds of civilians

00:27:40.367 --> 00:27:42.452
and the casualties
were staggering.

00:27:42.452 --> 00:27:46.831
The Chinese Red Cross says
at least 2600 people were killed.

00:27:47.290 --> 00:27:51.795
The Goddess of Democracy statue
has been toppled by Chinese troops.

00:27:51.795 --> 00:27:55.465
In Hong Kong, more than 100,000 demonstrators

00:27:55.465 --> 00:27:57.676
took to the streets to express outrage

00:27:57.676 --> 00:28:00.178
over the bloody crackdown in Beijing.

00:28:00.178 --> 00:28:02.055
They are not our government.

00:28:02.055 --> 00:28:03.640
They’re crazy.

00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:04.974
They’re murderers.

00:28:06.434 --> 00:28:07.769
Thirty years ago,

00:28:07.769 --> 00:28:08.853
Hong Kong people

00:28:08.853 --> 00:28:12.190
supported students in Tiananmen Square.

00:28:12.816 --> 00:28:14.776
Now it’s time for us

00:28:14.776 --> 00:28:15.902
to come back

00:28:15.902 --> 00:28:17.570
to support Hong Kong people.

00:28:17.570 --> 00:28:22.242
Free Hong Kong!

00:28:22.242 --> 00:28:27.747
We want democracy!

00:29:20.175 --> 00:29:21.926
This kind of rally

00:29:21.926 --> 00:29:24.637
has already happened
in London, Melbourne,

00:29:24.637 --> 00:29:26.681
and also Toronto yesterday.

00:29:26.681 --> 00:29:27.932
They all have counter groups.

00:29:28.099 --> 00:29:31.102
So the police are
coming to me, talking about

00:29:32.395 --> 00:29:36.024
the possible counter protest group.

00:29:37.817 --> 00:29:40.195
I have expressed concern to him.

00:31:10.618 --> 00:31:14.873
Taiwan's president has left for the United States
on a trip that has angered Beijing.

00:31:17.041 --> 00:31:18.710
President Tsai Ing-wen has arrived in New York

00:31:18.710 --> 00:31:20.795
to start off her 12 day U.S. tour.

00:32:33.785 --> 00:32:36.120
Go to that side.

00:32:39.916 --> 00:32:40.833
Look!

00:33:23.167 --> 00:33:25.461
Which person?

00:33:36.347 --> 00:33:38.641
There’s another person too.

00:33:42.895 --> 00:33:44.147
That’s nice.
Go on the sidewalk.

00:33:49.152 --> 00:33:50.486
Go on that side then.

00:33:50.486 --> 00:33:51.821
Yes, no problem.

00:33:51.821 --> 00:33:53.072
We want to report who assaulted him.

00:33:53.072 --> 00:33:55.658
Go to that side there
and we’ll discuss it when I get there.

00:33:55.658 --> 00:33:56.367
No problem.

00:33:56.367 --> 00:33:59.370
These guy should have come here.

00:33:59.370 --> 00:34:00.580
Which group are you with?

00:34:00.580 --> 00:34:02.165
You gotta go to the sidewalk.

00:35:03.476 --> 00:35:04.644
Yeah, I'm the organizer.

00:35:04.644 --> 00:35:05.561
- You’re the organizer?
- Yes.

00:35:05.561 --> 00:35:06.896
- Can I speak to you?
- Okay.

00:35:08.981 --> 00:35:11.150
Where are you from?

00:35:11.150 --> 00:35:12.068
You mean group?

00:35:12.068 --> 00:35:13.152
What group are you?

00:35:13.152 --> 00:35:14.946
China Democracy Party.

00:35:14.946 --> 00:35:16.155
Democratic Party of China.

00:35:16.155 --> 00:35:17.031
Okay.

00:35:17.448 --> 00:35:19.784
You're against the person
coming here or you're for...?

00:35:19.784 --> 00:35:21.744
We support her.

00:35:21.744 --> 00:35:22.620
Look, this side...

00:35:22.620 --> 00:35:23.996
- Shh!
- Okay.

00:35:23.996 --> 00:35:24.914
Don’t yell at me.

00:35:24.914 --> 00:35:25.873
Oh, I'm not yelling at you.

00:35:25.873 --> 00:35:27.917
I just want to tell you these guys are...

00:35:27.917 --> 00:35:29.418
Who’s with the camera?

00:35:29.418 --> 00:35:30.670
I don't know.

00:35:30.670 --> 00:35:32.046
Who’s that with the camera behind us?

00:35:32.046 --> 00:35:32.964
Get rid of them.

00:35:32.964 --> 00:35:34.757
- Sir, I'm making a documentary.

00:35:34.757 --> 00:35:36.175
Yeah. No, you're not.

00:35:36.968 --> 00:35:38.719
We’re going to put you guys in a pen.

00:35:39.428 --> 00:35:40.513
This is unacceptable.

00:35:40.513 --> 00:35:42.181
Yeah, you're right.
They assaulted us.

00:35:42.181 --> 00:35:43.850
Nah. Stop, stop.

00:35:43.850 --> 00:35:44.851
They assaulted us.

00:35:44.851 --> 00:35:46.769
You're all going.
Don’t worry about it.

00:36:42.366 --> 00:36:43.826
We don't talk to the media.

00:36:44.911 --> 00:36:47.872
Deputy Commissioner of Public Information,
you can contact.

00:36:48.289 --> 00:36:50.041
- Can I get their phone number?

00:36:50.041 --> 00:36:50.833
Sure.

00:36:52.418 --> 00:36:54.128
- What's your name, sir?

00:37:55.648 --> 00:37:56.899
Washington, D.C. this morning,

00:37:56.899 --> 00:38:00.027
the delegation from China is arriving today.

00:38:00.444 --> 00:38:02.488
Treasury Secretary has already confirmed

00:38:02.488 --> 00:38:06.200
that Vice Premier Liu He will be leading that delegation.

00:40:05.236 --> 00:40:06.821
The officer told me...

00:40:06.821 --> 00:40:09.740
You cannot block.

00:40:09.740 --> 00:40:13.160
Keep moving.
You cannot block access to the embassy.

00:40:13.911 --> 00:40:14.912
One at a time.

00:40:15.788 --> 00:40:17.832
You can turn around
and go over there.

00:40:17.832 --> 00:40:19.083
Here? It’s okay?

00:40:19.542 --> 00:40:20.709
I was talking to her.

00:40:20.709 --> 00:40:22.628
I need to talk
to one of you two

00:40:22.628 --> 00:40:24.505
so I can get information
about your group.

00:40:35.724 --> 00:40:38.853
Free, free China!

00:40:38.853 --> 00:40:41.564
Democracy China!

00:40:41.564 --> 00:40:44.442
Human rights China!

00:43:25.144 --> 00:43:32.026
Happy birthday to you.

00:43:32.026 --> 00:43:36.030
Happy birthday dear Juntao.

00:43:36.030 --> 00:43:40.951
Happy birthday to you.

00:43:46.248 --> 00:43:56.425
Happy birthday to you.

00:48:32.618 --> 00:48:35.287
Well, today marked
the second day of trade talks

00:48:35.287 --> 00:48:38.749
between the Trump administration
and the Chinese delegation.

00:48:38.749 --> 00:48:41.168
And U.S. President
Donald Trump is set to meet

00:48:41.168 --> 00:48:44.087
Chinese Vice Premier
Liu He at the White House

00:48:44.087 --> 00:48:45.797
as the world's
two largest economies

00:48:45.797 --> 00:48:50.427
try to find a way out of
this 15 months trade war.

00:53:17.110 --> 00:53:19.237
Hold this and I’ll back up the car.

00:53:29.247 --> 00:53:30.749
Is it in place?

00:56:20.085 --> 00:56:21.920
Oh, let’s bring it over.

00:59:50.253 --> 00:59:51.963
Is that correct?

00:59:51.963 --> 00:59:53.089
Yes, yes.

01:00:07.478 --> 01:00:08.563
Yes, I will repeat that.

01:00:08.563 --> 01:00:12.775
I just wanted to give my petition
to the Vice Premier.

01:00:12.775 --> 01:00:13.318
Okay.

01:00:23.411 --> 01:00:24.370
Exactly.

01:00:24.370 --> 01:00:26.039
I’m not trying to stop the car.

01:00:43.431 --> 01:00:45.808
Regarding what happened on that day,

01:00:45.808 --> 01:00:50.855
everything we just discussed
is what we want to convey to the jury.

01:03:09.494 --> 01:03:13.456
In honor of all those
who died for democracy

01:03:13.456 --> 01:03:16.125
in Tiananmen Square
and around the world,

01:03:16.125 --> 01:03:18.169
we pledge to preserve their memory

01:03:18.169 --> 01:03:20.296
and to continue their fight.

01:03:20.296 --> 01:03:23.925
We believe that the Chinese
people have a craving for

01:03:23.925 --> 01:03:27.553
democratic reform that is
up to them to decide.

01:03:27.553 --> 01:03:30.723
And they should not
be mowed over in a tank

01:03:30.723 --> 01:03:36.896
because they speak out for their own beliefs
about freedom of expression.

01:04:03.214 --> 01:04:04.674
One, two, three, four.

01:06:45.418 --> 01:06:49.213
The allegations today included
a heartbreaking story of betrayal.

01:06:49.213 --> 01:06:50.881
US government officials said

01:06:50.881 --> 01:06:53.592
Shujun Wang,
a naturalized American citizen

01:06:53.592 --> 01:06:57.513
and high ranking member
of a pro-democracy organization here,

01:06:57.513 --> 01:07:00.474
was secretly working
for the Chinese intelligence agency

01:07:00.474 --> 01:07:02.351
called the Ministry of State Security.

01:07:02.351 --> 01:07:05.604
Since at least 2015,

01:07:05.604 --> 01:07:08.024
Wang abused his position and status

01:07:08.024 --> 01:07:11.235
within the Chinese diaspora
community in New York City

01:07:11.235 --> 01:07:14.864
and elsewhere to collect
information about prominent

01:07:14.864 --> 01:07:17.867
activists, dissidents,
and human rights leaders.

01:10:09.038 --> 01:10:11.874
Law matters
and lawyers matter

01:10:11.874 --> 01:10:15.586
because it matters
who is wielding power.

01:10:15.586 --> 01:10:17.880
And that's why you matter.

01:10:18.130 --> 01:10:21.050
The cases you read in law school
were not just about principles.

01:10:21.050 --> 01:10:23.010
They were about people.

01:10:23.010 --> 01:10:27.431
Real people who've been injured,
accused, victimized, or persecuted.

01:10:27.765 --> 01:10:31.268
And so too,
your law practice will be about people.

01:10:31.268 --> 01:10:34.355
Those people are the purpose of your career.

01:10:47.159 --> 01:10:48.744
Chuangchuang Chen.
