Eileen Wang: Who is the Democratic Party's mayor of Arcadia ?
The mayor of Arcadia, California, a heavily Chinese-American suburb of Los Angeles, has agreed to plead guilty to a federal charge of acting as a foreign agent of China, spreading propaganda on behalf of Beijing, US officials said on Monday.
Within hours of the case being made public, Eileen Wang, 58, resigned from Arcadia's city council, along with the position of mayor she assumed in February on a rotating basis, according to the city manager's office.
Born in the chinse province of Sichuan, Eileen Wang moved to Southern California about 30 years ago.
Both her parents are Chinese: her father was a physician in Sichuan province and her mother was a doctor of Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
She switched her party affiliation from Republican to Democrat in 2022 a month after she was elected to the Arcadia City Council.
The mother of two was engaged to Yaoning "Mike" Sun, her former campaign advisor, till they broke up in spring 2024.
Wang appeared briefly before a federal magistrate judge who instructed attorneys to agree to a date for a future hearing when Wang will formally enter her plea. Bond was set at $25,000. Monday's proceeding was conducted through a Mandarin interpreter.
In the 19-page plea deal filed April 1 and unsealed with the charging document on Monday, Wang agreed to plead guilty to a single felony count of acting as a foreign agent of the Chinese government without prior notification to the US Justice Department. The charge carries a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison.
In the plea agreement, Wang admitted to promoting propaganda favorable to China "at the direction and control" of Chinese government officials from late 2020 through 2022, when she was elected to a four-year term on the Arcadia city council.
Specifically, she helped to run a website called the "US News Center," which purported to be a legitimate news source for the predominantly ethnic Chinese local community but was actually a mouthpiece for the Beijing government, the plea agreement said.
According to the filing, Wang received and carried out directives from Chinese government officials to post pro-China content on the website, including articles disputing reports of human rights abuses committed against ethnic Uyghurs in China's Xinjiang region.

ReplyDeleteSo, when Eileen Wang was taking money from the Chinese government to post their propaganda on her website SHE WAS A REPUBLICAN. This information seems to cut against your preferred narrative, Mystere. Which is that Democrats support the CCP. How do you explain this?
She was a CCP RINO, Assface Dervish. When she knew she was going to get caught if she kept up acting like what she really is, she switched over to take cover.
DeleteAnd unlike you, I go after traitors. I despise RINOs.
And for the record, I went after RINOs Michael Steele, Rinsed Prius and Willard Mitt Romney.
DeleteI don't think so. I think she pretended to be a Democrat but was still a republican. You don't "go after RINOs". You falsely accuse real republicans of being RINOs for standing up to the RINO donald trump. donald trump is the RINO.
