Linda Sun, a 40-year-old United States citizen, is accused of acting as a foreign agent for China while working for the New York governor. Sun pleaded not guilty of taking millions in payments and gifts from Chinese officials in exchange for influencing the high levels of the New York state government for years.
As Covid-19 was spreading across New York in March 2020, state officials held a private conference call to discuss their response to the pandemic. But there was someone else listening in who had no business being on the call: a Chinese government official. The official, according to federal prosecutors, had been surreptitiously added to the call by Linda Sun, who was then an officer in the administration of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Prosecutors said both men were acting at the behest of China’s Ministry of State Security. Last year, Chinese nationals Lu Jianwang, 61, and Chen Jinping, 59, were arrested on charges of operating an illegal police station in New York to “monitor and intimidate” Chinese government critics, the Justice Department said. The station, located in an office building in Chinatown, was raided by FBI officers after it was closed in the fall of 2022.
