Two convicted Chinese spies helped Arcadia’s former mayor become a successful SoCal politician — who secretly took orders from Beijing.
Yaoning “Mike” Sun and John Chen helped Eileen Wang win office and secretly reported back to their masters in the People’s Republic of China, according to court documents.
Sun took orders from Chen as he served as the campaign manager and business partner of Wang in her successful 2022 run for Arcadia City Council.
When Wang won her seat, Chen told Sun to send a report to their PRC masters calling Wang a “new political star.”
Wang would “go against Taiwanese independence” and “report to China,” Chen reported to his PRC spymaster.
The Chinese official responded: “That’s great!”
Chen told Sun to make a list of politicians that Wang was friendly with, adding: “the more the better, the higher position the better.”
He also bragged to Beijing about they could turn local U.S. politicians against Taiwanese independence, according to the documents.
The mayor of Arcadia is selected from the Council on a rolling basis.
Chen was sentenced in 2024 to 20 months in prison for acting as an unregistered agent of the People’s Republic of China and bribing an Internal Revenue Service agent.

She’s just one of millions of Chinese anchor babies who hold dual citizenship - all of who could come to the US & vote in elections, destroying the US.
So its a “sprawling spy network” from a highly technically adept communist country.
yet “Russia, Russia, Russia” is still the justification for every democrat-deep state anti-constitutional measure and accusation. Weird.
Seems much of our government is still controlled by people working for London-Brussels-Davos.
Yeah- Russia, Russia was concocted by the Chinee- owned head biotch and her never was “husband” .They created the head fake to the stupid among the mil-indust and yes the intel “geniuses” to still think Russia mattered.
It is all Chinee— and very soon their end result is going to be a surprise to the Chinee importer squeeze artists as being a “seeded” mine of fake ore. Imitation as flattery. The Japanese can explain it to us now they are run by Conservatives left from the chinese murdered PM friend of Trump’s.
Judeo-Christian America has very profound vulnerabilities to Marxists / Communists - including looking for the best in others and not assuming everyone is a deceitful enemy.
When the US sponsored China for most-favored nation trading status it was not ultimately met with a grateful appreciation, for example, but was seen by China as an opening, a strategic mistake by the US, and as weakness to be exploited.
Eric missed out on a Wang-Wang.
Pelosi’s open seat has a Chinese woman vying for it....looks very suspicious.
Includes San Francisco w/ roughly one-third Asians.......
could be many Chinese there pulling the PRC stunts mentioned here.

In our church in the ‘90s, there was a lovely Chinese family. We weren’t able to socialize with them due to DH’s security clearance. You just never know who’s doing what.
Trump needs to cancel this “CEO Trip” and suspend PRC visas for one year!
And no we don’t need 600,000 PRC STEM students in the country!
In 50-100 years, this nation might be a possession of China. Could happen, especially if trends don’t change.
I wonder if they’ll send marching ladies..?
I assume they were grooming her for eventual higher office.
