Linda Sun, a New York public official and senior advisor for New York Governors Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul, has been charged with being a Chinese agent while in office. Miles Yu addresses what she is accused of, and takes a wider look at the history of Chinese espionage. Next, he analyzes why a seemingly local fender-bender turned into a microcosm demonstrating the Chinese Communist Party’s mistreatment of its veterans. And finally, Taiwanese President Lai Ching Te used a recent interview to turn the tables on Chinese land annexation policies by citing Chinese claims over Russian land. The double standard has led to suspicious silence from the CCP.
