‼️ Arcadia mayor Eileen Wang has resigned after reaching plea agreement ‼️ May 11: Arcadia mayor Eileen Wang has been charged in federal court with acting as an illegal agent of China. She is charged via information with one count of acting in the US as an illegal agent of a foreign government. Wang has agreed to plead guilty to the felony count, which comes with a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison. (The plea deal was already done last month but was just unsealed today.) Wang appeared in federal court in downtown Los Angeles during a brief hearing today, where a judge instructed her lawyers to set a date when she would formally enter a guilty plea. Wang is expected to plead guilty in the coming weeks. Wang resigned as Arcadia mayor after the case became public in the afternoon. Wang was elected in Nov 2022 to the Arcadia City Council, a 5-person governing body from which the mayor is selected on a rotating basis. According to her plea agreement, from late 2020 through 2022, Wang and Yaoning “Mike” Sun worked at the direction and control of 🇨🇳 government officials and coordinated with US-based individuals to promote China’s interests by, among other things, promoting pro-China propaganda in the US. Sun is serving a 4-year federal prison sentence after he pleaded guilty in Oct 2025 to acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government. Wang and Sun worked together to operate US News Center, a website that purported to be a news source for the local Chinese American community. Wang and Sun received and executed directives from 🇨🇳 government officials to post pro-China content on the website. For example, in June 2021, a 🇨🇳 official contacted Wang and other individuals via the WeChat encrypted messaging application with pre-written news articles, including a 🇨🇳 official-written essay in the Los Angeles Times that stated: “China’s Stance on the Xinjiang Issue – There is no genocide in Xinjiang; there is no such thing as ‘forced labor’ in any production activity, including cotton production. Spreading such rumor to do defame China, destroy Xinjiang’s safety and stability, weaken local economy, suppress China’s development[.]” Minutes later, Wang posted the article on her own website and responded to the 🇨🇳 official with a link to the article on her website. The others in the group chat did the same. The 🇨🇳 official responded: “So fast, thank you everyone.” In Aug 2021, Wang and three other members of the same group chat shared links to the same article on their respective “news” websites, after which the 🇨🇳 official thanked them for their “reporting.” At the 🇨🇳 official’s request, Wang made edits to the article, sent the official a link to the article reflecting the requested change, then sent the official a screenshot showing the article had been viewed 15,128 times. In response, the official messaged, “Great!,” Wang replied, “Thank you leader.” In Nov 2021, Wang communicated with John Chen, a high-level member of the 🇨🇳 intelligence apparatus, who regularly attended elite Chinese Communist Party functions, including military parades, and met personally with 🇨🇳 Xi Jinping. Wang asked Chen to post a “news” article from her website, and wrote, “This is what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to send.” Chen was sentenced in Nov 2024 to 20 months in federal prison after pleading guilty in the Southern District of New York to acting as an illegal agent of China and conspiracy to bribe a public official. Wang admitted in her plea agreement that she did not notify the Attorney General that she was acting in the US as an agent of China, that she was located in the US when she engaged in these acts, and that did she not disclose on her website that some of its content had been posted at the direction of members of the 🇨🇳 government. justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/a… nypost.com/2026/05/11/us-… latimes.com/california/sto… latimes.com/california/sto… x.com/byron_wan/stat…

Arcadia City Councilmember Eileen Wang (王爱琳) has close ties with both pro-CCP individuals/groups in the US and united front groups in China. Wang has been working very very closely with Yaoning “Mike” Sun (孙耀宁) over the years. Wang also actively participated in various events hosted by 🇨🇳 Consulate General in Los Angeles. Wang was backed by prominent pro-CCP figures in California — including Sue Zhang (张素久), Charles Lu (鹿强), Zhang Yong (张勇), Jiang Fengnian (江风年), Xuan Guojun (宣国军), etc — when she ran for city council in 2022. Wang spoke in a forum celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CCP led by 🇨🇳 Consul General in Los Angeles Zhang Ping (张平) and other prominent pro-CCP figures in southern California in 2021 (icitynews.com/?p=306545). Wang was the president and Sun was the chairman of the executive committee of American Southwest Chamber of Commerce USA (美国加州华人总商会) (52hrtt.com/mobileview/inf…). Wang was the founding chair and Sun was the Executive Chairman of US California Music and Art Association (美国加州音乐艺术协会) (icitynews.com/?p=284175). In Apr 2019, Wang set up the 🇨🇳 Sichuan branch of the American Southwest Chamber of Commerce USA while she was President of the organization; the opening ceremony was hosted by Tian Bihua (田碧华), the Vice Chair of united front group Sichuan Provincial Returned Overseas Chinese Association (四川省侨联) (sc.sina.cn/finance/2019-0…). In Nov 2019, Wang made a trip to 🇨🇳 Sichuan province with Sun to make donations to 10 poor students at a local primary school in Shehong (射洪市); the trip was also hosted by 🇨🇳 Sichuan Provincial Returned Overseas Chinese Association (四川省侨联) (scql.gov.cn/xwzx/qlyw/2019…). Interestingly, in the news article it’s specifically mentioned that the united front department of Shehong’s Party Committee was actively involved.
