China's Consul General in New York, Huang Ping, has been expelled following the arrest of Linda Sun, a former aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul. Sun has been charged with secretly acting as an agent for the Chinese government. Governor Hochul confirmed that she requested the expulsion, which was carried out by the US State Department. The expulsion marks a significant diplomatic action amid ongoing concerns about foreign influence in US politics. The People's Republic of China (PRC) and Beijing are central to this development.
