Ex-NY state aide who lived the high life as alleged secret Chinese agent heads to trial

An ex-top state aide who lived a life of luxury allegedly fueled by millions of dollars in kickbacks from China is headed to trial — and the case could expose a brazen Beijing influence campaign in the highest reaches of Albany.

In exchange for advancing China’s agenda in the Empire State, Linda Sun and her husband, Chris Hu, were showered with payoffs — which they used to splurge on a gaudy $4 million Long Island mansion, a $2 million second home in Hawaii and flashy cars like a Ferrari Roma, prosecutors allege.

A jury in Brooklyn federal court is set to hear opening statements in the bombshell case Wednesday morning.

Sun, 42, is accused of using her government perch to sway Govs. Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo to benefit Chinese interests.  ...

Eric Swalwell would bang her.

A recently departed senator from California (Diane Feinstein) had a personal driver for thirty years who turned out to be a CHICOM spy. Of course, she claimed that she had no idea!

Ex-top NY aide accused of being secret agent for China in exchange for lavish perks as fed trial begins: ‘Linda Sun was for sale’
By Ben Kochman and Matt Troutman   
Published Nov. 12, 2025, 4:02 p.m. ET

Linda Sun “was for sale,” federal prosecutors charged Wednesday as the former top aide to Govs. Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo went on trial for allegedly betraying New Yorkers in favor of the Chinese government.

Sun, 42, sat calmly as Assistant US Attorney Amanda Shami launched into withering opening statements outlining the feds’ case that the ex-official acted as a secret agent for China in exchange for a shower of payoffs and lavish high-end goodies.

“Her loyalty was for sale, and the Chinese government, which wanted to influence the New York government, was willing to pay her to do their bidding,” Shami said in Brooklyn federal court, dramatically pointing in Sun’s direction at one point.  ...

Sun, who’s also charged with acting as a foreign agent for China, had worked under Hochul and her predecessor, ex-gov-turned-mayoral-loser Cuomo.

She allegedly used her position of power to sway the gubernatorial duo toward benefitting Chinese interests — including by once stopping Cuomo from publicly thanking the communist nation’s rival Taiwan.  ...

Good grief. This woman - this Chinese spy - was caught forging Hochul's signature.

Bombshell docs reveal alleged Chinese mole Linda Sun ‘forged’ Hochul’s signature on gushing invites to Henan dignitaries: feds
By Ben Kochman   
Published Nov. 17, 2025, 6:04 p.m. ET

Alleged Chinese mole Linda Sun brazenly forged then-Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signature in glowing missives sent to dignitaries from the Henan province, according to the feds and documents presented at her bombshell trial.

Jurors in Brooklyn federal court were shown copies of letters purportedly sent by Hochul on March 26, 2018, inviting a six-member delegation from the province in central China to a meeting with then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

But the letters bore clearly forged versions of Hochul’s signature — that featured “overly loopy” handwriting, her former chief of staff Jeff Lewis testified.  ...

Prosecutors say that Sun, who served as Cuomo’s director of Asian-American affairs, forged the governor’s then-No. 2 Hochul’s signature several times that year in an attempt to curry favor with Chinese officials.   ...

She's not the only one out there.  All Chinese staffers and aides in government should be considered spies unless definitively proven otherwise.
