Eileen Wang, the former mayor of Arcadia, California, has pleaded guilty to illegally working for China. According to the United States Justice Department, she ran pro-China propaganda at the behest of the Chinese government between 2020 and 2022.
Officials said Wang disseminated pro-China content without informing the United States government. She ran a website called “United States News Center,” which published pro-China news.
