據美聯社報導,獲美國政治庇護的六四民運人士唐元雋,承認代表中國政府從事間諜活動,並監控位在紐約的中國民運人士長達5年。他12日在曼哈頓聯邦法院被判3年刑期,但獲得緩刑的處分。
現年69歲的唐元雋,多年來公開批評中國共產黨。他於2025年9月認罪,承認未按規定向美國司法部長辦公室登記為「中華人民共和國代理人」;他也承認受中國政府指使,對其他異議人士進行長達5年的監視。
唐元雋透過參與在曼哈頓中國領事館外舉行的每月抗議活動,並於2002年在居住地紐約皇后區法拉盛創辦一家非營利組織,贏得海外民運圈內人士的信任。
檢方指出,唐元雋至少在2018年至2023年間,向中國當局提供了數十人的相關訊息;他甚至讓一名中方聯絡人混入一個名為「中國民主黨之友」的線上群組,該群組由唐元雋發起,成員包括140名美籍華人。
唐元雋的辯護律師表示,唐元雋是一名民主倡導者、作家和活動人士,他當時非常渴望回中國探望患病的父母和兄弟,並因此與一名聲稱能幫他實現這一願望的人建立了聯繫。
唐元雋透過一名翻譯向法官表示,他違背了自己的政治信念,前往中國是為了「再見父母一面」。他說:「我對自己做的一切深感悔恨」,承認「我的行為給他人造成了一定的傷害」。

此後,唐元雋開始向中國國家安全部提供情報,每年獲得約4200美元的報酬,於2024年10月被捕。在此之前,美國對中國試圖騷擾和壓制海外異議人士的行為展開多項調查,聯邦官員稱之為「跨國鎮壓」的一部分。
