The head of the United States Department of Justice, Merrick Garland, has accused China of interfering with the American justice system. In particular, he pointed the finger at two Chinese intelligence officers who Washington said worked to obstruct the Justice Department’s investigation into telecommunications giant Huawei. Garland also announced the indictment of 13 Chinese citizens who allegedly worked for Beijing’s spy agencies. FBI director Christopher Wray specified that eleven of these Chinese citizens are Beijing intelligence officers. “The Chinese government has tried to interfere with the rights and freedoms of people in the United States and undermine our judicial system that protects those rights,” Garland said at a press conference. CNN also adds that the two alleged Chinese spies are Gouchun He and Zheng Wang. The two, according to the documents drawn up by the prosecution, have cultivated relations with an official of the American forces involved in the Huawei case since 2017. When the investigation into Huawei began, the two would have asked the American official for information on witnesses, trial evidence. and new accusations that could be brought against Huawei. In return, the US official received thousands of dollars in cash and jewelry, prosecutors say. According to the court, the American official was paid by He and Wang until last week. The prosecution reports that the American citizen also received $ 41,000 for a “classified” document.
