涉嫌充當中國代理人 紐約州前幕僚被捕

紐約州前州長科莫和現任州長霍楚爾的華裔幕僚孫雯被指控為中國政府的代理人,並於 9 月 3 日在長島被捕。檢察官指控孫雯在州政府任職期間,按照中國官員的指示,阻撓台灣官員與紐約州官員接觸,並試圖為紐約州高級官員安排前往中國的旅行。此外,孫雯還被指控操縱紐約州政府的政策信息,使其有利於中國政府。檢察官表示,孫雯通過「非法計劃」為中國政府謀取利益,並因此獲得了數百萬美元的報酬和禮物,她的丈夫胡驍也因從中國政府獲得好處而被捕。孫雯被指控犯有 8 項罪名,包括未註冊為外國政府代理人、洗錢等,胡驍則被指控犯有 3 項罪名。兩人均拒絕認罪。紐約州長辦公室表示,在發現孫雯的「不當行為」證據後,於 2023 年 3 月解僱了她。

Summary: A former aide to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and current Governor Kathy Hochul, Linda Sun, was arrested in Long Island on Tuesday (September 3) on charges of acting as an agent for the Chinese government. Prosecutors allege that while working for the state government, Sun acted at the behest of Chinese officials to obstruct contact between Taiwanese government officials and New York state officials, and attempted to arrange trips to China for a high-ranking New York official. In addition, Sun is accused of manipulating New York state government policy messages to make them favorable to the Chinese government. Prosecutors say Sun benefited financially from the “illegal scheme” by obtaining millions of dollars in compensation and gifts for herself, while her husband, Chris Hu, was also arrested for receiving benefits from the Chinese government. Sun has been charged with eight counts, including failure to register as an agent of a foreign government, money laundering, and other charges. Hu has been charged with three counts, including conspiracy to commit bank fraud. Both have pleaded not guilty. The governor’s office said Sun was fired in March 2023 after evidence of her “misconduct” was found.
