A Southern California mayor refused to comment on her former fiancé and campaign staffer, who was sentenced to four years in federal prison for "acting as an illegal agent of the People's Republic of China."
Last week, Arcadia Mayor Eileen Wang's former fiancé, Yaoning "Mike" Sun, was sentenced to four years in federal prison for acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government.
Wang has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with the case and refused to comment on it during Arcadia's first City Council meeting since the sentencing.
Sun pleaded guilty in October 2025 to one count of acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government from at least 2022 to January 2024, when he "knowingly acted within the United States as an agent" of China, without notifying the attorney general, according to a news release from the Department of Justice.
Sun, 55, worked with a person referred to as "Individual 1" from 2020 through 2023 to "operate a purported news website for the local Chinese American community," while receiving and executing directives from the PRC government to "post pro-PRC content," the release said. He also worked as a campaign advisor for Individual 1, who was running for a city council seat in an undisclosed city. The person was elected to the city council in November 2022.

Chinese Communist Party spies are everywhere and you can bet a ton of them have been elected to some office in the US
Kah-ching! Am I allowed to say that?
Sun Ting Wong
I’d say there’s about a 99% chance she’s a Democrat, though CBS doesn’t bother to tell us.

When Sun shines on Wang
There is an unacceptable stink.
Like in Denmark.
It’s too bad that when they tied them together, they didn’t toss them in the Pacific.
Eric Swawell should also be sitting in prison for his dalliance with Fang-Fang - suspected of espionage in the United States between 2011 and 2015.
Instead, he is running for the governor of California (and unfortunately may win).
The first she knew about it was when she read it in the paper.
