Two convicted Chinese spies helped Arcadia’s former mayor become a successful SoCal politician — who secretly took orders from Beijing.
Yaoning “Mike” Sun and John Chen helped Eileen Wang win office and secretly reported back to their masters in the People’s Republic of China, according to court documents.
Sun took orders from Chen as he served as the campaign manager and business partner of Wang in her successful 2022 run for Arcadia City Council.
When Wang won her seat, Chen told Sun to send a report to their PRC masters calling Wang a “new political star.”
Wang would “go against Taiwanese independence” and “report to China,” Chen reported to his PRC spymaster.
The Chinese official responded: “That’s great!”
Chen told Sun to make a list of politicians that Wang was friendly with, adding: “the more the better, the higher position the better.”
He also bragged to Beijing about they could turn local U.S. politicians against Taiwanese independence, according to the documents.
