Federal jury acquits Chinese-American man of charges he acted as unregistered Chinese agent.

A federal jury in Boston has acquitted Litang Liang, a 65-year-old Chinese-American man, of charges that he acted as an unregistered agent of the Chinese government. Liang was accused of providing information about Chinese dissidents and activists to Chinese officials. His defense argued the case infringed on his right to free speech, while U.S. authorities saw it as part of their efforts to counter China’s efforts to silence critics abroad.
