The stations have also served as centers to spread Chinese government propaganda and monitor the behavior and opinions of Chinese nationals.
Gallagher said he hopes Saturday's event will"draw attention to the issue" but also put pressure on the Justice Department and"We want the FBI and DOJ to be acting aggressively to defend our sovereignty and, certainly, defend American citizens," Gallagher said. Gallagher acknowledged the work the FBI is already undertaking on China, and said"people are starting to wake up."Gallagher said the legislation has not yet been introduced, but the framework would be to increase the penalties for criminal harassment if it is coming from a foreign adversary or being done on behalf of a foreign adversary like China, North Korea, Russia or Iran. The legislation could also increase the penalties for people failing to register as a foreign agent.
