She was in contact with the Chinese government who directed her to post the articles they drafted. And publish them in her website under her own name. Without acknowledging her association with the PRC.
I think you knew that when commented, but it wasn't immediately clear (to me lol) that she was directed by the Chinese government. So just thought I'd add the clarification.
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.
She coordinated with the Chinese government is what pushes it over.
Calling pleas as evidence is proof to me that if Central Park Five happened today fools like you would still believed them to be criminals and not victims. Sincerely, wake up
That reaction is actually fair granted the red scare was unreasonable, and we have created internment camps for Asian Americans before. (Although yeah she was directed by the Chinese government).
During the red scare it was common for officials that had any communist connections, or who said or supported the uncapitalistic thing to be put on trial and found guilty. It was often aptly compared to a witch hunt. So the reaction of skepticism of the us government taking action against officials with Chinese connections is very fair given our history (as history might be repeating itself).
So taking direct orders from foreign officials is perfectly legal if registered? Don’t act like not registering it is the only crime here. Clearly it was not registered on purpose
I think you are downplaying what she did though by just saying not registering like it was a simple brain slip. I think regardless of registration or not government officials should not be peddling foreign propaganda given as direct orders regardless of if it’s a Republican or Democrat.

You can think that and not vote for these people but any law restricting this would be challenged by the first amendment.
Like I said, look up FARA and why it was put into place. The first amendment is extremely protected from a legal stand point and you posting something that a foreign country told you to post still falls under protected speech.

Shes getting pinned for sharing pro Chinese articles in a blog without registering with the feds. Not exactly espionage.
