The US-China relationship

Spy suspect in New York received millions from China

Linda Sun, a former employee of New York Governor Kathy Hochul, is accused of secretly working for China. This is reported by a number of international media.

According to the indictment, she is said to have tried to strengthen China and the Communist Party's position with the governor and to have hindered the relationship between New York and Taiwan.

In exchange for acting on China's behalf, she was helped to buy a lavish luxury apartment in Hawaii worth around 50 million kroner, a Ferrari and received special deliveries of salted duck to her apartment in New York.

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not want to comment on the indictment. Sun, and her co-accused husband, deny wrongdoing.

Chinese envoy has left - but not expelled

After a former employee of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was singled out as a Chinese agent, Hochul has sought to have China's consul general in the state expelled, CNN reports.

CNN stated earlier on Wednesday that the envoy had been expelled, but this was rejected in a statement from the US State Department, writes Reuters.

According to the US department, the consul general has finished his service and left the US, but this was planned in advance.

In the indictment against the former employee, who was, among other things, Hochul's chief of staff, she is singled out as a person who, in exchange for large sums of money, has acted on behalf of China during her work in the American state.
