A California mayor who has since resigned has been charged with acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China and has agreed to plead guilty, according to federal prosecutors who say she secretly worked to push pro-Beijing messaging inside the United States before she took office.
Eileen Wang, former mayor of Arcadia, California, has been charged with acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China and has agreed to plead guilty to the felony offense, the Justice Department announced. She now faces up to 10 years in federal prison along with a potential $250,000 fine, though any sentence would be determined by a federal judge.
Federal prosecutors say Wang admitted she acted "at the direction and control" of Chinese government officials from at least 2020 through 2022, coordinating with individuals in the U.S. to spread pro-Beijing messaging, all without notifying the U.S. Attorney General as required by law. The conduct described by prosecutors occurred before Wang took office on the Arcadia City Council in December 2022.
Arcadia city officials said the case is tied to Wang’s individual conduct and does not impact city operations.
"Individuals elected to public office in the United States should act only for the people of the United States that they represent," Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said.
"It is deeply concerning that someone who previously received and executed directives from PRC government officials is now in a position of public trust at all."
According to court documents, Wang worked alongside Yaoning "Mike" Sun, a convicted Chinese agent already serving a four-year federal prison sentence, to operate a website posing as a local Chinese American news outlet.

She’s just one that got caught. I’d bet there are LOTS more.
How many more are there?
Wang Wang?
Including at least half of the U.S. Congress.
How the Mayor of Boston ? LOL
The big surprise is not that we have people in this country working for Communist China.
The big surprise is that a corrupt Democrat actually resigned.
Perhaps that was part of a sweetheart plea deal.
For pushing pro Beijing messages?
Many University presidents and administrators too! Money talks and controls! Particularly true for state universities, governing bodies and state legislatures as long as they have good football\basketball seats they can’t be bothered!
This is bad look at Canada. Their PM is just like this woman
When you have open borders and declare multi-ethnic “diversity” as your primary goal for society - you do not have a country
Enemies love that.
Ignorant “americans” voting for foreign scumbags. Imagine how many ignorant idiots in Arcadia were so proud of themselves for voting for a Red Chinese scumbag to be their mayor.
Not surprised, that community has a very large Chinese immigrant population.
And, there is that birth tourism from China...
There are estimates of up to 1 million birth tourist births from China - all American citizens who will be able to vote in American elections when they turn 18.
This is the time for U.S. citizens of Chinese descent to come out and condemn this woman’s actions. People like her reflect on the whole community of Chinese descended Americans.

Yep. And here’s someone who agrees with us.
“If you don’t have any borders, you don’t have a nation.”
- Bernie Sanders
Of course Bolshevik Bernie won’t do anything about it. But he did have one brief moment of clarity.
Pronto.
It’s time to start rooting them out.
Communists in California? No way!
