Linda Sun indictment

[edit]

According to September 2024 indictment of Linda Sun, the deputy chief of staff to New York governor Kathy Hochul, Huang frequently coordinated with Sun in attempts to influence the governor on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.[4] Huang was labeled in Sun's indictment as “PRC Official-1”.

Following the release of the indictment, Hochul requested that Secretary of State Antony Blinken have Huang expelled.[5] The US State Department said Huang left his post at the end of August.[6] The consulate's official website lists Huang as having served until September 2024.[2]
