Chinese Spy Bragged Hochul Was ‘Obedient,’ Coached

A former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who has been accused of being a covert Chinese agent, boasted in textual content messages that her boss was “much more obedient” than her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo.

The feedback, half of the evidence introduced at Linda Sun’s corruption trial, had been made during a dialogue aimed at convincing Cuomo, the governor at the time, to movie a speech commemorating the Lunar New Year.

Sun indicated to a Chinese official that she might get the then-Lt. Gov. to do it instead.

“She (Hochul) is much more obedient than the governor (Cuomo),” Sun allegedly said in one message, according to the New York Post, including in another, “The deputy governor listens to me more than the governor does.”

This is a horrible look for Hochul.

What is particularly shocking here is not just how brazenly Sun boasts that she has Hochul by the puppet strings. But it’s the subject matter. It’s pure propaganda, and Hochul, according to a Chinese spy, is a willing dupe.

What’s so bad about this? Surely a Lunar New Year message is nothing nefarious. No ulterior motive. Right?

Right, Ms. Hochul? Unfortunately, wrong. 

The Post writes that the Chinese officials seeking to get Cuomo to record the message, which Hochul ultimately did, “was half of a broader effort to have public figures tape China-friendly clips as the world recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Sun, in another message, said she might “make sure” Hochul used some of the Chinese official’s “talking points” in the video.

“Can you share with me some talking points of things you want her to mention? I can make sure to include it in her (Hochul’s) remarks,” she said.

China unleashed hell on the world with the pandemic, and Hochul was on the market attempting to present favorable messaging for the CCP. She was clearly compromised.

Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY-21), who is operating for Governor of New York in 2026, posted the video that Hochul recorded at the behest of the alleged Chinese spy.

“Not only is Kathy Hochul the most corrupt and Worst Governor in America, but she’s also the most compromised,” Stefanik told the National Review. “It seems Compromised Kathy bent the knee to her own Communist aide even before she bent the knee to New York City’s Socialist mayor-elect.”

These textual content messages are just additional evidence of how simply Sun managed Hochul. Previous reporting on this trial confirmed evidence that the covert Chinese agent cast Hochul’s signature on flattering letters inviting dignitaries from China’s Henan province to meet with Cuomo in 2018.

The Chinese delegation was invited to meet with state officers and promote investment alternatives in New York State.

This needs to be the most important story in America:

A Chinese spy was caught forging the signature of an American governor.

Sun has also been accused of influencing pandemic-era discussions by secretly inserting a consulate official on a cellphone call in 2020 at the peak of COVID, stopping Cuomo from assembly with officers from Taiwan, and even getting Hochul to omit point out of the Uyghurs, a repressed Muslim minority, in the same Lunar New Year speech.

That must have been one of those speaking factors they wished to make sure wasn’t in there.

Hochul’s aide was initially charged with violating and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, visa fraud, alien smuggling, and money laundering conspiracy. She and her husband had been hit with more expenses in June of 2025, contending they helped steer profitable contracts to Chinese corporations to promote masks and ventilators to the New York authorities during the pandemic.

China unleashes the pandemic. They infiltrate Hochul’s workplace and get contracts to promote masks and ventilators. Then they get her to discuss about them in a optimistic mild. This needs to be a far better scandal than it has been thus far.

For Sun, meanwhile, she reaped other advantages while promoting out the New York State authorities to her CCP handlers.

As PurpleState’s Managing Editor, Jennifer Van Laar, reported upon Sun’s arrest in September of 2024, controlling Hochul appeared to be a profitable enterprise for her and her husband. The couple was allegedly accepting huge bribes totaling hundreds of thousands, then laundering the money and utilizing the scheme’s advantages to buy luxurious automobiles and million-dollar properties.

Multiple million-dollar houses. Luxury automobiles, one constructed by Ferrari. Rolex watches and other gaudy jewellery that had been discovered inside a $4 million Long Island mansion that Sun and her husband had been dwelling in when they had been arrested.

Living it up, pushing Chinese propaganda while numerous Americans die during the pandemic. Allegedly.

Sun held a number of outstanding roles under Cuomo before changing into Hochul’s Deputy Chief of Staff. She managed Hochul’s workplace. She managed Hochul’s pen. She managed what got here out of her mouth. And she did it on China’s behalf.

Sun was fired from the state authorities in 2023 after initial allegations surfaced.
