Hochul Aide Charged as Chinese Agent
Briefly

Linda Sun, a former top aide for New York governors, has been indicted for allegedly acting as an undisclosed agent of the Chinese Communist Party, influencing political messaging and blocking Taiwanese access to government officials.
The indictment details how Sun operated during her terms in office, including pressuring Cuomo's administration to praise the Chinese Communist Party during the Covid pandemic while sidelining Taiwan's contributions, notably for 200,000 surgical masks.
Despite her official roles in promoting diversity, Sun's actions illustrate a stark contradiction, as she circumvented traditional political protocols to favor the interests of the Chinese government at the expense of Taiwanese relations.
The significant financial gains for Sun and her husband, who benefitted from millions of dollars through their PRC connections, raise serious ethical questions about foreign influence within U.S. political circles.
