A senior aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York was charged on Tuesday with acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China for using her position to further the Chinese government’s interests, including by blocking Taiwanese officials’ access to the governor’s office.
The 65-page indictment detailed 10 criminal counts that included visa fraud, money laundering and other crimes, and accused the aide, Linda Sun, 40, of accepting substantial economic benefits in exchange for actions that benefited the People’s Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party.
