A New York City police officer once charged with spying for China says he is fighting the commissioner's decision to fire him. Baimadajie Angwang was arrested by federal agents in 2020 and charged with feeding information about New York's Tibetan community to the Chinese consulate in New York. Prosecutors dropped the case against him last year, after he had spent six months in detention. In a decision recently made public, Police Commissioner Edward Caban fired Angwang, saying he refused to cooperate with an internal affairs investigation into the spying case. Angwang says he declined to speak with department investigators on the advice of his lawyers.
