Summary

A former top aide to two New York governors has been charged with working as an illegal agent of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Linda Sun, who was deputy chief of staff for Gov. Kathy Hochul and deputy diversity officer for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was accused by federal prosecutors of being an undeclared agent for the Chinese regime while working for the politicians during her tenure in the New York government. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Sun had engaged in political activities that aligned with the interests of the CCP and also conspired to launder the proceeds of the alleged unlawful activities. Meanwhile, the break from the Chinese market is now hitting Hollywood as American movies fall flat in China. This is taking place as the CCP warns against the “Westernization” of Chinese youth, with the regime increasing its focus on soft power. As this happens, the regime is also expanding its censorship and surveillance programs. We’ll discuss these topics and more in this episode of Crossroads. *Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.   ⭕️ 🇺🇸Josh's Special Offer👉 https://ept.ms/JoshSpeicalOffer ⭕️ Support our fight for the truth👉 https://donorbox.org/crossroads
