• In LA's 'Chinese Beverly Hills,' fighting back against Chinese communist infiltration (courant.com) — Arcadia officials are crafting new safeguards to protect City Hall from foreign government influence after former councilmember Eileen Wang agreed to plead guilty to acting as an illegal agent of China. Mayor Paul Cheng and residents are debating measures like training, foreign-contact policies, and candidate disclosures while trying to avoid stigmatizing the city's large Chinese American community. Federal corruption probes tied to Chinese influence are also widening across Southern California.
