On Thursday, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, 64, was arrested and accused of conspiring with Chen Jun, another defendant who was convicted last month and sentenced to 20 months in prison for acting as an agent for the Chinese government, according to the Associated Press.

Although the candidate for which Sun worked for is not named in the court documents, the New York Times reported that the candidate named as “Individual 1” in the documents is Eileen Wang, a Chinese American who ran for Arcadia City Council in 2022.
