A major China-linked influence operation case has erupted in the United States just days before Donald Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Xi Jinping in Beijing. Former Arcadia mayor Eileen Wang has been charged with allegedly acting as an illegal agent for China, with U.S. prosecutors accusing her of spreading pro-Beijing propaganda through a fake news platform targeting Chinese-American audiences. The controversy now adds fresh pressure on Trump before his “make-or-break” summit with Xi Jinping amid rising tensions between Washington and Beijing.
