Reply to comment by MaxiqueBDE in China has secret station in NYC as part of network to track dissidents by solo-ran

They're not enforcing foreign laws on us soil they convince people to return to China where they then can enforce laws. It's like the spy movies unless they're caught doing something illegal in their cover, cant arbitrarily detain or arrest people.

They're probably working for a company not directly for the government. All countries have companies operating in other countries that are basically serving their home country's interests, plausible deniability. Pretty common plot element in spy movies

Correct there's no violations of any US laws hence there's no grounds for charges so they can continue to operate. As you can see from the articles they're operating in broad daylight and have been careful.
