SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 16 –
Zhongsan Liu was
indicted in 2019 for stealth
recruitment in the US for the
Chinese government. His trial
began on March 15, and Inner
City Press was there.
Liu was
working for or through the
"China Association for
International Exchange of
Personnel" or CAIEP.
On March 15 an
Australian expert Alexander
Joske told the jury that CAIEP
is a Chinese government organ,
though it (like many
at the United Nations)
calls itself a non
governmental organization.
He also testified
about SEFEA, the Chinese State
Administration for Foreign
Expert Affairs.
Lui's
lawyer wanted to voir dire
at least part of Joske's
expertise. U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Valerie E.
Caproni said it could be done
after the jurors left at 5 pm.
She told the jurors, If there
is any press, which I doubt
there will be, don't read it.
Inner City
Press published the above that
evening, and on March 16 asked
EDNY US Attroney Brion Peace
about his Office's indictment
of five more for spying and
worse for China, see here
including the release on bail
of
Fan
“Frank” Liu,
Matthew
Ziburis and
Shujun Wang.
In the
SDNY trial of Zhongsan Lui, an
FBI agent testified about pole
camera footage from outside
807-809 Anderson Avenue and a
woman in a green or shiny
black jacket. The judge asked
how having a relationship with
her would be prejudicial and
should be kept from the jury,
set to return on March 17 like
Inner City Press.
The case is US v.
Liu, 19-cr-804 (Caproni).
