The US Department of Justice has brought serious charges against Linda Sun, an aide to the governor of New York State, who is suspected of secretly working for the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). According to investigators, Sun, while holding high positions in the New York City Executive Office, acted as a secret agent of the PRC, carrying out numerous political tasks aimed at advancing China's interests.

One of the key episodes cited by the investigation was Sun's interference in attempts by Taiwanese representatives to arrange meetings with senior US officials. These actions are seen as an attempt to hinder the development of ties between the United States and Taiwan in Beijing's interests.

The incident has increased tensions in relations between the United States and China, adding to the list of charges of espionage and interference in the political life of the United States. If found guilty, Sun could face serious legal consequences.
