"Mayor Wang admitted to acting as a foreign agent from at least 2020 through 2022, promoting PRC propaganda in the United States and acting at the PRC's direction to promote their interests."
Eileen Wang, mayor of Arcadia, California, resigned and will plead guilty to one federal count of acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government, facing up to 10 years in prison. Kash Patel announced the charge as part of ongoing federal efforts to root out CCP influence in American institutions, with at least 15 Chinese operatives linked to California since 2019. Wang's campaign manager is also serving a 4-year prison sentence in connection with the operation.
