NY’s Chinese Consul General ousted after aide charged with acting as Beijing agent: Hochul
A top Chinese consulate official who featured prominently in shocking spy accusations against former Empire State governor’s aide Linda Sun is no longer with the New York diplomatic mission, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Wednesday.
Huang Ping, the now-former Consul General in New York, was spotted by The Post scurrying from the consulate Wednesday morning — just hours hours before Hochul told reporters that her request for his ouster, made to an unnamed “high-ranking” State Department official, had apparently been granted.
“I also requested the State Department to take appropriate action in response to the dangerous and outrageous actions taken by the People’s Republic of China,” she said.
Huang’s dramatic departure came just a day after federal prosecutors leveled a bombshell 64-page indictment against Sun, 41, and her husband Christopher Hu, 40, accusing of her acting as a foreign agent for China.
Sun reaped millions in kickbacks from the People’s Republic of China and Chinese Communist Party for her work turning the New York governor’s office, under both Hochul and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, effectively into a mouthpiece for China, especially on Taiwan, prosecutors said.
