Eileen Wang has been charged in federal court with acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). From late 2020 through 2022, Wang and Yaoning “Mike” Sun worked at the direction and control of PRC government officials. They coordinated with U.S.-based individuals to promote the PRC’s interests by, among other things, promoting pro-PRC propaganda in the United States through U.S. News Center, a website that purported to be a news source for the local Chinese American community, and they received and executed directives from PRC government officials to post pro-PRC content on the website.
Apparently, there are assimilation issues happening here because she seems way more loyal to China than the United States.
How many more Eileen’s are out there in politics, Fortune 500 companies, universities and military? https://t.co/0n71l2ZwkE
