A California mayor has resigned in disgrace after admitting to acting as an illegal agent for China in a bombshell federal case. Former Arcadia mayor Eileen Wang allegedly helped spread pro-Beijing propaganda through a Chinese-language news site targeting US audiences. Federal prosecutors say Wang worked alongside her ex-fiance, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, who was previously jailed over a separate China-linked spy case.

Wang reportedly agreed to plead guilty and now faces up to 10 years in prison under federal foreign agent laws. This comes as Donald Trump is set to travel to China to meet with President Xi Jinping.
