RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:USA Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) 2022 Re: Biotech and China September 05, 2024 - The decision by New York prosecutors to charge a former aide to the New York governor this week with acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government has raised concerns about China’s efforts to influence U.S. politics
Sun's arrest on Tuesday is the latest, and perhaps most high profile, in a series of cases the U.S. Department of Justice has prosecuted in recent years to root out Beijing's agents on U.S. soil.
While previous cases involved charges against suspected Chinese spies for reporting on and surveilling dissidents critical of the Communist Party, Tuesday's case appeared to show how China is trying to directly influence U.S. politics in line with its interests, even at the local level.
China sees it as important to cultivate state-level relationships with U.S. officials, and has always done so.

Interesting how Buckeroo keeps wanting to distract away from China.
