孙雯是前纽约州州长办公室副秘书长,被控利用职务为中国政府换取利益,包括收受数百万美元的报酬,以及奢侈品、旅游和为亲戚提供工作机会。检察官指控她阻止台湾官员与州长办公室的往来,删除州政府通讯中的台湾和维吾尔人相关内容,并取消与台湾官员的会面。她被控签署欺诈、洗钱等多项罪名。这起案件是司法部阻止中国政府在美国各地秘密施加影响的最新行动,也反映出中国政府试图通过金钱和利益收买国外影响力的策略。

Summary: Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff for the New York governor’s office, has been charged with using her position to benefit the Chinese government, including receiving millions of dollars in payments, luxury goods, travel and employment opportunities for her relatives. Prosecutors accuse her of blocking Taiwanese officials from interacting with the governor’s office, removing references to Taiwan and Uyghurs from state government communications and canceling meetings with Taiwanese officials. She is charged with multiple counts of visa fraud, money laundering and other crimes. The case is the latest action by the Justice Department to counter Chinese government efforts to secretly influence American institutions and reflects a strategy by Beijing to seek to buy influence abroad through cash and favors.
