“By her own admission, Eileen Wang secretly served the interests of the Chinese government,” officials say. She was elected mayor of Arcadia in 2022 and has resigned.
Prosecutors said that Wang and Yaoning “Mike” Sun promoted “pro-PRC propaganda” in the U.S. through a website titled “U.S. News Center.” PRC refers to the People’s Republic of China.
Sun pleaded guilty in October to one count of acting as a foreign agent and is serving a four-year prison sentence, the U.S. attorney’s office said.
Wang’s plea agreement says she admits she acted as an agent of China’s government and did not notify the U.S. attorney general as required.
The agreement says Wang and Sun “received and executed directives from PRC government officials to post pro-PRC content on the website” and sometimes sought permission from Chinese government officials to post content.
If there’s one thing liberals and fascists agree on, it’s that communists aren’t human.
Tankies aren’t commies. Try again.
the definition of “tankie” disagrees with you, you should contact everybody else on Earth and let them know they’ve made a horrible mistake!
Lots of tankies are communists, don’t be silly
Here’s the origin of the term…
… and the modern usage follows
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
excerpt…
Uh huh. Well, the Trump administration is officially designating anyone with “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” views as a terrorist. Do you fit any of those? Then you’ll put put in the concentration camp right along side of me unless we fucking together and you stop punching left.
Tankies aren’t “left”
Perhaps to you… meanwhile, on Earth, “communism” is often considered “left”, and “tankies” are often communists.

Answer the question: “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” - do you fit any of those?
Because you’ll die in a camp right beside me unless we work together. When the US starts rounding up dissidents into camps, US enemies are going to be the only ones that might help us. Europe won’t dare disagree with daddy.
You’re not a commie, despite what you claim. You’re just a fascist that likes the Chinese and Russian flavors instead of American. No one wants you, or likes you. Please go away.
Since you won’t answer the question, I guess I have to assume you love jeebus, love capitalism, and love 'murica.
You’d better, because if you don’t, they’re going to fucking kill you. You’ll die because you refused to put aside sectarian differences because you believe, somehow, you can defeat US fascism without working together with the US’s enemies.
We hang together or they’ll hang us separately.
So long as I don’t have to hang next to you, specifically, I’ll die happy. Christ, you’re an insufferable loser- just like all tankies.
Okay, I’ll tell you what the fascists are going to do to me. I won’t just be killed immediately. I’m trans. They’ll take away my hormones and put me in men’s prison, and what do you think they’ll do to me in men’s prison? Yankees looove to make jokes about it, everyone knows what will happen to women like me. I probably won’t even survive to my execution.
And you love it. My only crime is having an opinion that’s different from yours on China, and you’d happily die just for me to face a fate worse than death.
Nobody is going to defend someone who identifies with the crimes against humanity supported by tankies. This is lemmy, there are plenty of communists here who also have a conscience. If you dont see any problem with authoritarian regimes contempt for human life, than frankly you arent different enough from Trump to be worth anyones support.
I can recognize what the bigger problem is. Don’t you believe in supporting the lesser evil?
We hang together or they’ll hang us separately.
