The first time I heard Bout Eileen Wang was this thread? I am struggling to find what she did?

One news article claimed her "crime" was operating a news website that published articles with a pro-China bias and received funding from China? If this is truly the only crime, then just about every main stream media company needs to be charged for being an agent of Israel.... Please tell me there is more to this store, can somebody detail what the charges?

DOJ press release:

So she literally ran a private website that published pro China stories? Am, I missing something with the charge? I don't even see how this is slightly concerning (or illegal.)

Again, if I am missing something, like if she told top secret info from her city job that would be an issue. But, on your private website, you can post whatever stories you want... Half the media glazes countries that I find reprehensible. If they want to be sponsored by Qatar and Israel, that is their business.
