A former mayor pleaded guilty Friday to acting as an illegal agent of the Chinese government.
Eileen Li Wang, the former mayor of Arcadia, California, allegedly acted "at the direction and control" of Chinese government officials between 2020 and 2022, without notifying U.S. authorities, prior to taking office.
According to court documents, Wang worked alongside a convicted Chinese agent, who is already serving a four-year federal prison sentence, to operate a website posing as a local Chinese-American news outlet.
Prosecutors described the website as a propaganda arm for the Chinese Communist Party that published content supplied directly by Chinese government officials.
She faces up to 10 years in prison. The judge has scheduled sentencing for October 6, 2026.
#June4 is not just numbers; it’s the blood of innocent students.
History can be censored, but never erased!
If the CCP is so confident in its version of history, why does it still fear people talking about it 37 yrs later? #TiananmenMassacre@FreeAll_protest@Tenam108@Sohnie
We should prohibit the Chinese Students and Scholars Association from operating in America as it is an instrument of China’s regime, monitoring, surveilling, and coercing Chinese students on our soil.
Communist China is NOT our friend. Any company connected to the People’s Liberation Army or the CCP should NOT be given access to spy on us.
My new bill ensures that COMMUNIST CHINA-linked spy tech companies cannot operate in the USA moving forward 🇺🇸
