New FDNY chief’s ties to China emerge amid federal probe into foreign influence on New York officials
Story by Isabel Vincent • 1h • 5 min read

The New York Fire Department’s new chief’s ties to China are coming to light against the backdrop of a federal investigation into foreign influence on the city’s officials.

FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker was previously head of a private security firm where one of the clients was a billionaire who once admitted to feds he worked for Chinese intelligence, according to reports.
 
While in that role, Tucker also approved an email putting forward ex-golf club hospitality worker Lin Gui’an for a top position in the New York Police Department, which he eventually got. Lin’s links to the Chinese Communist Party were exposed by The Post last week.
