Chinese spy and top aide of New York mayor got a Ferrari, salted ducks, and a Honolulu apartment as a gift from the government
New York secretly assisted the Chinese government in gaining access to an official call regarding COVID-19 while living a lavish lifestyle as an undercover agent for Beijing. Linda Sun worked her way up to become the governor's deputy chief of staff over a roughly 14-year tenure.
Federal prosecutors, however, claim that the 41-year-old secretly shared internal documents with Beijing and prevented Taiwanese diplomats from contacting the state government to help Chinese officials. China is said to have lavished Ms. Sun and her husband, Christopher Hu, with millions of dollars in kickbacks in exchange, enabling them to purchase a $4.1 million (£3.1 million) New York home and other benefits like personalized home delivery of salted duck.

According to the indictment, they also purchased luxury cars, including a 2024 Ferrari Roma sports car and a $2.1 million oceanfront condo in Honolulu, Hawaii. In a Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday, the couple entered a not-guilty plea to several charges, including money laundering, visa fraud, and failure to register as foreign agents. According to US law, anyone working for or on behalf of foreign nations or political parties must register as a foreign agent.
Prosecutors claim that Ms. Sun never, as a naturalized citizen of Chinese descent, actively concealed that she took actions at the order, request, or direction of Chinese government representatives and officials.
