Former aide to NY Governor Hochul charged with acting as a Chinese agent

A former aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul has been charged with acting as an agent for the Chinese government, actively working to set up high-level meetings between US and Chinese officials and blocking those sought by Taiwanese representatives. In return, prosecutors say Linda Sun received millions of dollars with which she and her husband funded a lavish lifestyle, which included a $4.1 million Long Island property, a $2.1 million Hawaii condo and a Ferrari.
