Eileen Wang Resigns as Arcadia Mayor and Pleads Guilty to Acting as Foreign Agent for China

Eileen Wang resigned as mayor of Arcadia and pleaded guilty to acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government, with a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
Wang admitted to promoting pro-China propaganda through a website and received directives from Chinese government officials, violating federal law.
Her colleague, Yaoning 'Mike' Sun, previously pleaded guilty to the same charge and is serving a four-year sentence; both were involved in a media platform targeting the Chinese American community.
