PHOTO: MICHAEL BUCHER/THE WALL STREET JOURNAL\n\nGuo Wengui, a wealthy Chinese businessman, sat in the sun room of his apartment on the 18th-floor of the Sherry-Netherland Hotel on New York's Fifth Avenue. With him were four officials from China's Ministry of State Security, whom Mr. Guo had agreed to meet.\n\nFor many months, Mr. Guo, from his self-imposed exile, had been using Twitter to make allegations of corruption against senior Chinese officials and tycoons. During the hourslong conversation, the officials urged him to quit his activism and return home, after which the government would release assets it had frozen and leave his relatives in peace.\n\nLiu Yanping, the lead official, said he had come on behalf of Beijing \"to find a solution,\" according to Mr. Guo and a partial audio recording Mr. Guo said he made of the May encounter and posted online in September.\n\nMr. Liu's demeanor made clear this wasn't a friendly negotiation, and he hinted at the risks for Mr. Guo. \"You can't keep doing this forever,\" Mr. Liu can be heard telling Mr. Guo on the audio recording, reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. \"I'm worried about you, to tell you the truth.\"\n\nThe dramatic meeting sparked an unresolved debate within the Trump administration over the Guo case and laid bare broader divisions over how to handle the U.S.'s top economic and military rival, according to people familiar with the matter. U.S.-China relations have been upset by disagreements over trade, cyberespionage and policy toward North Korea, and Mr. Guo's New York stay is only adding to the tension.\n\n![](_page_2_Picture_4.jpeg)\n\nMr. Guo shows a video he says he made of the visit to his home by Chinese state security officials. PHOTO: MICHAEL BUCHER/THE WALL STREET JOURNAL\n\nThe Chinese officials, who were in the U.S. on visas that didn't allow them to conduct official business, caught the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which wanted to move against them, according to people familiar with the matter. The bureau's effort ran into friction with other U.S. officials, including those at the State Department, who have tended to favor a less-confrontational approach, according to the people.\n\nSome U.S. national security officials view Mr. Guo, who claims to have potentially valuable information on top Chinese officials and business magnates and on North Korea, as a useful bargaining chip to use with Beijing, the people said.\n\nThe episode took a twist when President Donald Trump received a letter from the Chinese government, hand-delivered by Steve Wynn, a Las Vegas casino magnate with interests in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau. Mr. Trump initially expressed interest in helping the Chinese government by deporting Mr. Guo, but other senior officials worked to block any such move, according to people familiar with the matter.\n\nThe Chinese Embassy in Washington declined to comment.\n\nWym Resorts Ltd. Chief Marketing Officer Michael Weaver said in a written statement to the Journal: \"[T]hat report regarding Mr. Wynn is false. Beyond that, he doesn't have any comment.\"\n\nMr. Guo, who built a real-estate empire in Beijing, has said he fled China in 2014 after hearing that a state security official to whom he was close would soon be arrested. Beijing has said it is investigating Mr. Guo in at least 19 major criminal cases that involve bribery, kidnapping, fraud, money laundering and rape, allegations that Mr. Guo denies.\n\nBeijing has branded Mr. Guo as an attention-seeking criminal. Beginning this year, his near daily broadcasts on Twitter alleging official corruption have attracted many followers in China, who find ways to bypass China's internet firewall.\n\nMr. Guo's application for asylum in the U.S. is pending. He settled at the Sherry-Netherland in 2015, paying \\$67.5 million for the apartment overlooking Central Park.\n\nThe account of Mr. Guo's interactions with U.S. and Chinese officials is based on a review of audio and video recordings he said he made of some conversations, discussions with Mr. Guo and with U.S. officials familiar with the matter.\n\nThe recent chapter in China's pursuit of Mr. Guo began May 24, when Mr. Liu, a top official in charge of discipline at the security ministry—China's equivalent of the Central Intelligence Agency-went with his colleagues to the fugitive's New York home. They entered the U.S. on transit visas, which allow foreign government officials only to travel through the U.S. for a short period en route to another destination.\n\nMr. Guo said he had agreed to meet the officials because Mr. Liu had permitted Mr. Guo's wife to leave China and join him in the U.S.\n\nThe Chinese officials spoke to Mr. Guo at length, touching on subjects including employees and family members who had been detained in China. Mr. Guo said the officials told him the\n\nMr. Guo didn't agree to the officials' demands.\n\nLater that afternoon, at the beginning of rush hour around 5 p.m., agents from the FBI confronted the Chinese officials at New York's Pennsylvania Station, according to people familiar with the incident.\n\nAt first, the Chinese said they were cultural affairs diplomats. Then they admitted to being security agents. The FBI agents instructed them to leave the country, saying they were in violation of their visas and weren't to speak to Mr. Guo again.\n\nThe Chinese got on the train to Washington. The FBI assumed they would be gone in 24 hours.\n\nTwo days later, on May 26, Mr. Liu and the other Chinese officials returned to Mr. Guo's apartment ahead of a planned flight back to China in the late afternoon.\n\nU.S. law-enforcement authorities, whom Mr. Guo had told about the impending visit, decided it was time to act. The U.S. Attorney's office in Brooklyn prepared charges alleging visa fraud and extortion, according to people familiar with the matter. FBI agents raced to John F. Kennedy International airport ahead of the officials' scheduled 4:50 p.m. Air China flight.\n\nMeanwhile, the Chinese officials dined on dumplings prepared by Mr. Guo's wife, who was still grateful to Mr. Liu for letting her leave China, according to her husband. Mr. Guo said he again declined the officials' offer of clemency in exchange for silence, and walked the group out of the building.\n\nProsecutors were still scrambling to secure final signoff from Washington to go ahead with the planned arrests at the airport.\n\n![](_page_5_Picture_1.jpeg)\n\nThe Sherry-Netherland Hotel in Manhattan. PHOTO: MICHAEL BUCHER/THE WALL STREET JOURNAL\n\nWith the flight preparing to board and FBI agents taking positions on the jet bridge, White House national security officials convened a conference call with participants from the State and Justice Departments, the Pentagon and the intelligence community.\n\nState Department officials, worried about collateral consequences for U.S. personnel in China, hesitated to approve the Justice Department's plan to make arrests.\n\nAn alternative was presented: Subject the Chinese officials to additional screening, which would cause them to miss their flight and buy some time, people familiar with the call said.\n\nU.S. officials couldn't fashion a consensus to approve either plan, and the FBI agents were permitted only to confiscate the Chinese officials' phones before the plane took off.\n\nA State Department representative said in a written statement: \"Decisions on these kinds of matters are based on interagency consensus.\"\n\nIn a written statement about the events provided to the Journal, a Justice Department spokesman said: \"It is a criminal offense for an individual, other than a diplomatic or consular officer or attaché, to act in the United States as an agent of a foreign power without prior notification to the Attorney General.\"\n\nThe spokesman added that the U.S. is \"committed to continuing cooperation with China\" on fugitive cases, and that the U.S. \"is not a safe haven for fugitives from any nation.\"\n\nThe U.S. and China have no extradition treaty, a recurring point of tension. Since 2014, China has escalated its global efforts to capture Chinese fugitives accused of corruption, including those who have fled to the U.S. The initiative, dubbed \"Operation Fox Hunt,\" often involves pressuring relatives in China, confiscating the target's assets and sending agents to deliver personal threats.\n\nBeijing officials tell their American counterparts they are justified in engaging in such activities because the U.S. carries out similar operations on foreign soil as well, U.S. lawenforcement officials say.\n\nIn June, U.S. officials revisited the JFK incident during a policy coordination meeting that grew heated.\n\n![](_page_6_Picture_7.jpeg)\n\nMr. Guo shows documents he says expose corruption in the Chinese government. PHOTO: MICHAEL BUCHER/THE WALL STREET JOURNAL\n\nEzra Cohen-Watnick, then senior director for intelligence programs at the National Security Council, confronted Susan Thornton, an East Asia expert who serves as Acting Assistant Secretary of State, charging her agency was improperly hindering law-enforcement efforts to address China's repeated violations of U.S. sovereignty and law, according to people familiar with the discussion.\n\nState department officials criticized the FBI for not seeking permission from them before initially engaging the Chinese officials, the people said.\n\nState Department official Laura Stone said she was already facing retaliation from Beijing, saying Chinese officials had allegedly confiscated her notebook as she was trying to leave the country, the people said.\n\nThe FBI's assistant director of the counterintelligence division, Bill Priestap, deadpanned in response: \"Was it because you had been trying to kidnap and extort someone in China?\"\n\nSeparately, at a June meeting in the Oval Office, counterintelligence officials briefed President Trump on Beijing's alleged efforts to steal cutting-edge research from labs and trade secrets from U.S. companies, according to people familiar with the meeting.\n\nThe president, surrounded by his top aides, including Vice President Mike Pence, his son-inlaw Jared Kushner, his former chief strategist Steve Bannon and other national security and economic advisers, asked to see policy options in 90 days. In the meantime, he said he knew of at least one \"Chinese criminal\" the U.S. needed to immediately deport, according to the people.\n\n\"Where's the letter that Steve brought?\" Mr. Trump called to his secretary. \"We need to get this criminal out of the country,\" Mr. Trump said, according to the people. Aides assumed the letter, which was brought into the Oval Office, might reference a Chinese national in trouble with U.S. law enforcement, the people said.\n\nThe letter, in fact, was from the Chinese government, urging the U.S. to return Mr. Guo to China.\n\nThe document had been presented to Mr. Trump at a recent private dinner at the White House, the people said. It was hand-delivered to the president by Mr. Wynn, the Republican National Committee finance chairman, whose Macau casino empire cannot operate without a license from the Chinese territory.\n\nA White House spokesman declined to comment.\n\nSome aides tried to shut the topic of conversation down, including by noting Mr. Guo is a member of the president's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla., according to the people familiar with the meeting. The aides later worked to prevent any possible attempts to deport Mr. Guo, an action they believed would deprive the U.S. of a key point of leverage to use against Beijing, the people said.\n\n![](_page_8_Picture_3.jpeg)\n\nMr. Guo in his apartment in New York. PHOTO: MICHAEL BUCHER/THE WALL STREET JOURNAL\n\nIn early September, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Bruce Swartz, who supervises the international affairs office at the Justice Department, traveled to China for an anticorruption conference and lodged a protest with Chinese law-enforcement authorities about China's aggressive efforts to force alleged fugitives to return from the U.S., people familiar with the matter said.\n\nWhile he was there, Beijing attempted to force another Chinese national to return from the U.S., the people said, without providing details.\n\nOn Oct. 4, Mr. Guo was scheduled to speak at the Hudson Institute, a prominent Washington think tank, the same day China's Public Security Minister Guo Shengkun was scheduled to meet with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and others for high-level talks on law enforcement and cybersecurity.\n\nIn the days leading up to the speech, the Hudson Institute detected a Shanghai-based attack aimed at shutting down access to its website, according to a spokesman. The Chinese\n\nEmbassy also called Hudson personnel warning them not to give Mr. Guo the opportunity to speak, according to several people who received such calls.\n\nThe institute canceled the event. Kenneth Weinstein, the Institute's president, said Beijing \"sought to dissuade\" it from holding the event but said the change of plans was caused by poor planning, not Chinese pressure.\n\nMr. Guo continued to antagonize the Chinese in the run-up to the Communist Party's twice-adecade Congress, which began Wednesday. President Xi Jinping is seeking to solidify his position as the country's strongest leader in decades during the weeklong event.\n\nEarlier this month at an event in Washington, Mr. Guo released copies of an alleged Chinese government document purporting to authorize a group of spies to be dispatched to the U.S. to stop him and other targets. Beijing has said the document is a forgery.\n\nHe also met with lawmakers and Mr. Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who continues to advocate that the U.S. take a hard line on economic negotiations with China. Mr. Guo posted photos of himself with Mr. Bannon on a new English-language Twitter account he recently launched.\n\n### —Nicole Hong and Michael C.

Kennedy International Airport（约翰·F·肯尼迪国际机场）。\n\n与此同时，这些中国官员享用了郭先生妻子包的饺子，据其丈夫称，她仍然感激刘先生允许她离开中国。郭先生表示，他再次拒绝了官员们提出的以沉默换取宽大的提议，并将这群人送出了大楼。\n\n检察官们当时仍在全力争取华盛顿方面的最终批准，以便继续执行在机场进行逮捕的计划。\n\n_page_5_Picture_1.jpeg\n\n位于曼哈顿的雪莉-荷兰酒店。照片：迈克尔·布彻/华尔街日报\n\n随着航班准备登机，联邦调查局特工在登机桥就位，白宫国家安全官员召集了由国务院、司法部、五角大楼和情报界代表参加的电话会议。\n\n国务院官员担心对在华美国人员产生附带后果，对批准司法部进行逮捕的计划犹豫不决。\n\n有人提出了一个替代方案：对这些中国官员进行额外安检，这将导致他们错过航班并争取一些时间，知情人士称。\n\n美国官员未能就批准任何一项计划达成共识，联邦调查局特工仅被允许在飞机起飞前没收中国官员的手机。\n\n国务院一名代表在书面声明中表示：“对此类事项的决定是基于跨部门共识的。”\n\n在一份提供给《华尔街日报》关于这些事件的书面声明中，Department of Justice（司法部）发言人表示：“除外交或领事官员或武官外，个人在未事先通知 Attorney General（总检察长）的情况下在美国作为外国势力的代理人行事，属于刑事犯罪。”\n\n该发言人补充称，美国“致力于继续与中国在逃犯案件上开展合作”，并且美国“不是来自任何国家的逃犯的安全避难所”。\n\n美中两国没有引渡条约，这是经常引发紧张的一个焦点。自 2014年 以来，中国加大了在全球范围内抓捕被控腐败的中国逃犯的力度，包括逃往美国的逃犯。这项代号为“Fox Hunt”（猎狐行动）的倡议通常涉及对在华亲属施压、没收目标资产以及派遣特工进行人身威胁。\n\n美国执法官员表示，北京官员对其美国同行称，他们从事此类活动是有正当理由的，因为美国在外国领土上也开展类似的行动。\n\n6月，在一次气氛愈发激烈的政策协调会议上，美国官员再次讨论了肯尼迪机场事件。\n\n_page_6_Picture_7.jpeg\n\n郭先生展示他称揭露中国政府腐败的文件。照片：迈克尔·布彻/华尔街日报\n\n据熟悉讨论情况的人士透露，时任 National Security Council（国家安全委员会）情报项目高级主管的 Ezra Cohen-Watnick（埃兹拉·科恩-沃特尼克）与担任 Acting Assistant Secretary of State（代理助理国务卿）的东亚问题专家 Susan Thornton（董云裳）发生对质，指责她所在的部门不正当地阻碍执法部门应对中国一再侵犯美国主权和法律的行动。\n\n知情人士称，国务院官员批评联邦调查局在最初接触中国官员之前没有向他们寻求许可。\n\n知情人士称，国务院官员 Laura Stone（劳拉·斯通）表示她已经面临来自北京的报复，称中国官员据称在她试图离境时没收了她的笔记本。\n\n联邦调查局反情报部门助理主管 Bill Priestap（比尔·普利斯特普）面无表情地回应道：“那是因为你一直在试图在中国绑架和勒索某人吗？”\n\n另外，据熟悉会议的人士称，在6月白宫椭圆形办公室举行的一次会议上，反情报官员向特朗普总统汇报了北京涉嫌窃取实验室尖端研究和美国公司商业机密的行动。\n\n在副总统 Mike Pence（迈克·彭斯）、女婿 Jared Kushner（贾里德·库什纳）、前首席策略师 Steve Bannon（史蒂夫·班农）以及其他国家安全和经济顾问等核心助手的环绕下，总统要求在90天内看到政策选项。知情人士称，与此同时，他表示他知道至少有一名美国需要立即驱逐出境的“中国罪犯”。\n\n“史蒂夫带来的那封信在哪里？”特朗普先生向他的秘书喊道。据知情人士称，特朗普先生说：“我们需要把这个罪犯赶出这个国家。”知情人士称，助手们以为被带进椭圆形办公室的那封信可能指的是一名在美国执法部门惹上麻烦的中国公民。\n\n实际上，这封信来自中国政府，敦促美国将郭先生遣返回中国。\n\n知情人士称，该文件是在白宫最近的一次私人晚宴上呈交给特朗普先生的。该文件由 Republican National Committee（共和党全国委员会）财务主席韦恩先生亲手递交给总统，其在澳门的赌场帝国在没有该中国领土许可的情况下无法运营。\n\n白宫发言人拒绝置评。\n\n据熟悉该会议的人士透露，一些助手试图终止该对话话题，包括指出郭先生（Mr. Guo）是总统位于佛罗里达州棕榈滩的海湖庄园（Mar-a-Lago）俱乐部的会员。这些人士表示，助手们随后努力阻止任何可能驱逐郭先生的企图，他们认为这一举动将剥夺美国用于对抗北京的关键筹码。\n\n郭先生在其位于纽约的公寓中。照片：Michael Bucher（迈克尔·布彻）/《The Wall Street Journal（华尔街日报）》\n\n熟悉该事项的人士表示，9月初，主管司法部国际事务办公室的副助理司法部长Bruce Swartz（布鲁斯·斯瓦茨）前往中国参加一场反腐败会议，并就中国强迫涉嫌逃犯从美国返回的激进举动向中国执法部门提出抗议。\n\n这些人士在未提供细节的情况下表示，在他访问期间，北京企图强迫另一名中国公民从美国返回。\n\n10月4日，郭先生原定在华盛顿知名智库哈德逊研究所（Hudson Institute）发表演讲，而当天正值中国公安部部长郭声琨（Guo Shengkun）原定与司法部长Jeff Sessions（杰夫·塞申斯）及其他人就执法和网络安全举行高级别会谈之日。\n\n据一位发言人称，在演讲前的几天里，哈德逊研究所检测到一起源自上海、旨在使其网站无法访问的攻击。据几位接到此类电话的人士透露，中国驻美大使馆（Chinese Embassy）也致电哈德逊研究所人员，警告他们不要给郭先生发表演讲的机会。\n\n该研究所取消了该活动。该研究所所长Kenneth Weinstein（肯尼斯·温斯坦）表示，北京曾“试图劝阻”其举办该活动，但表示改变计划是由于规划不当造成的，而非由于中方施压。\n\n在周三开幕的中国共产党五年一度的全国代表大会前夕，郭先生继续与中国政府对抗。国家主席习近平（Xi Jinping）正寻求在为期一周的会议期间巩固其作为数十年来该国最强有力领导人的地位。\n\n本月早些时候在华盛顿的一场活动中，郭先生公布了一份据称是中国政府文件的副本，该文件声称授权派遣一批间谍前往美国阻止他及其他目标。北京方面已表示该文件系伪造。\n\n他还与国会议员以及前白宫首席战略师班农先生（Mr. Bannon）会面，后者继续主张美国在与中国的经济谈判中采取强硬立场。郭先生在他最近开设的一个新的英文Twitter（推特）账号上发布了他与班农先生的合影照片。\n\n—Nicole Hong（妮可·洪）与Michael C.
