 Linda Sun, a former aide to New York governors, is accused of acting as an agent for the Chinese government. Prosecutors claim she used her influential positions to block Taiwanese officials from meeting with state leaders and remove references to Taiwan and Uyghurs in official communications. In return, Sun and her husband, Christopher Hu, allegedly received millions in kickbacks, business deals, travel perks, event tickets, and even salted ducks. Sun is also accused of providing Chinese officials with access to internal documents and forging Governor Hochul’s signature to facilitate a Chinese Communist Party delegation’s visit. Both face serious charges.
