| [NY Post] A NYPD cop and Army reservist with a "secret" security clearance betrayed fellow Tibetans in the Big Apple by spying on them and passing the intel on to a Chinese government handler, authorities said Monday. Baimadajie Angwang, who worked as a community affairs officer in the 111th Precinct in Queens, allegedly began acting on behalf of the People's Republic of China in May 2018 with an unidentified handler stationed in the Chinese consulate in Manhattan, according to a complaint unsealed in Brooklyn federal court. His contacts with the consulate began in 2014, the papers note. |

| #6 "No, no, no, absolutely not!" sez China Federal charges against an NYPD officer accused of spying on behalf of China are “pure fabrication,” the Communist nation claimed Tuesday. “The relevant accusations made by the U.S. side are pure fabrication,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told reporters at a daily briefing Tuesday, according to Fox. “The U.S. plot to discredit the Chinese consulate and personnel in the United States will not succeed.” Baimadajie Angwang, a now-suspended police officer in Queens’ 111th Precinct, was arrested Monday following a years-long federal investigation. Prosecutors allege the 33-year-old has been gathering information on Tibetans and recruiting potential intelligence sources for a contact inside China’s Manhattan consulate since at least 2018. The married cop, who lives on Long Island, has been charged with acting as an agent of a foreign government, obstruction, wire fraud and making false statements. Wenbin said the indictment against Angwang was filled with hedging terms like “seems” and “possibly,” which gave him the impression that prosecutors struggled to make a case, the outlet reported. The International Campaign for Tibet said in a statement that the case against Angwang shows the depth of China’s nefarious intentions. |

| #2 Angwang, is a low-level guy. There are most likely past and maybe present bigger fish to fry closer at hand. |
