NEW YORK (AP) — A member of New York’s Chinese dissident community who admitted spying for five years on his fellow activists on behalf of the Chinese government avoided prison time at his sentencing Thursday in Manhattan federal court. Yuanjun Tang, 69, an outspoken critic of the Chinese Communist Party for over three decades, was sentenced to three years’ probation by Judge John G. Koeltl. The judge said claims by some individuals who believe they and their families were targeted for harm because of Tang’s actions could not be proven. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jane Chong had asked the judge to impose a five-year prison sentence, the maximum Tang could face after pleading guilty in September 2025 to a charge that he failed to register as an agent of the People’s Republic of China with the U.S. attorney general’s office.
