According to her plea agreement, Wang and a colleague, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, worked on behalf of Chinese officials from the end of 2020 to 2022 to promote their interests by promoting pro-CCP propaganda in the United States.
Federal officials said she has agreed to plead guilty to the felony, which comes with a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison.Wang’s attorneys Jason Liang and Brian Sun said in a statement that she recognizes the seriousness of the charge and accepts responsibility for “past personal mistakes.”
“She apologizes and is sorry for the mistakes she has made in her personal life,” Wang's attorneys Jason Liang and Brian Sun said in a statement. “Her love and devotion for the Arcadia community have not changed and did not waver.”
According to her plea agreement, Wang and a colleague, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, worked on behalf of Chinese officials from the end of 2020 to 2022 to promote their interests by promoting pro-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda in the United States. Sun is serving a four-year sentence after he pleaded guilty to the same charge last October. He was also listed in campaign filings as the treasurer for Wang’s 2022 election campaign.
Wang and Sun operated the news website U.S. News Center, aimed at the Chinese American community, and were instructed by Chinese officials to post pro-CCP content on it.
In one instance in June 2021, a government official sent Wang a link to a letter to the editor published in the Los Angeles Times written by the Chinese consul general in Los Angeles.
The piece refuted reports of the persecution, forced labor, and abuse of Uyghers in China's Xinjiang province, stating, “There has never been genocide in Xinjiang or forced labor in the region’s cotton fields or any other sector.”
Within minutes, Wang shared the link on her news site.
