Gov. Kathy Hochul's administration plans to open a trade office in Taiwan, promoting relationships with the island amid serious allegations of a former staffer's espionage.
The decision follows the indictment of former staffer Linda Sun, who is accused of attempting to undermine Taiwan's sovereignty during her time in Hochul's office.
Hochul stated, 'I support the Biden administration when it comes to representation of our foreign interests,' showing her cautious stance regarding Taiwan's recognition.
Sun allegedly communicated with a Chinese consulate official about inhibiting Taiwan's engagement with New York state, reportedly scrubbing Taiwan references from official documents.
