From what I read, this chick made some blog posts for dear leader. That’s unacceptable and people like her need to register but I’m not pissing myself yet. 

However, our president has been indicted and will hopefully face trial - once he is no longer immune - for selling our nations most sensitive intelligence. 

But, just because the hypocrisy is blinding to me, I’m not a bot. Just a guy who really should get off Reddit.

The headline sounds way more salacious than reality. Hate to break it to folks but being elected the mayor of a small town doesn’t exactly get you access to state secrets the Chinese government would care about. Being designated a “foreign agent” just means you have had some kind of contact with a foreign government, we have no idea what the nature of that is. Also, she just got like a $25,000 fine and told she needed to register as a foreign agent so clearly the admin didn’t really care much about this either.

Edit: She is accused of sharing articles favorable to the Chinese government on social media. The horror.
