Ling Wancheng is thought to possess damaging information about the Chinese government.
A wealthy and well-connected Chinese businessman living in the US is stoking US-China tensions, The New York Times reports, saying "he could become one of the most damaging defectors in the history of the People’s Republic."
That businessman, Ling Wancheng, is the brother of Ling Jihua, who was a top aide to former Chinese President Hu Jintao and might be seeking asylum in the US.
Unnamed US officials confirmed to The Times that Ling Wancheng is in the US, where he reportedly owns a $2.5 million home in the Sierra Nevada foothills in California.
