Dec 19, 2024, 11:27 PM
Yaoning 'Mike' Sun, a political operative from Chino Hills, California, has been charged by federal prosecutors for allegedly acting as an unregistered agent for the Chinese government. While serving as the campaign manager for a city council candidate who was elected in 2022, Sun is accused of working covertly to influence U.S. policy in favor of Beijing, particularly regarding Taiwan. The Justice Department's allegations suggest that Sun was involved with the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department, which aims to influence local governance in the U.S. This case highlights ongoing concerns about foreign interference in American elections.
