An FBI ad aimed at Chinese-speaking citizens, asking for information about
Beijing-sponsored espionage in the United States or any other criminal
activity, is drawing flak in San Francisco's Chinatown and at the Chinese
Consulate.

The ad started running Saturday in three local Chinese-language papers --
the World Journal, Ming Pao Daily and Sing Tao Daily. Translated, it reads,
"Chinese living here have often helped the FBI prevent subversive elements
from penetrating and harming our country. In order to protect our freedoms
and democracy, we continue to seek your assistance."

The ad goes on, "We would like to talk to individuals who have information
about any foreign intelligence service that would intend to harm our
country. We especially welcome anyone who has information about the Chinese
(government) or State Security." It also provides a mailing address and
phone number for tips.

Sing Tao Editor Joseph Leung said the ad had prompted calls from several
unhappy readers -- including one at the Chinese Consulate, wondering just
how long it would run.
