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.  ...
