WASHINGTON (AP) — Five people accused of acting on behalf of the Chinese government have been charged with plotting to stalk and harass Chinese dissidents living in the United States. The Justice Department says one of the victims is a little-known congressional candidate in New York whose election bid a Chinese operative sought to undermine by seeking to uncover, or even manufacture, derogatory information, prosecutors said.
