From the Daily Mail: A top Chinese consular official has been ousted from New York City after a former aide to state Governors Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo was charged with acting as Chinese spy.
Huang Ping, who was the Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in New York, featured prominently in the espionage allegations against Linda Sun.
‘I have conveyed my desire to have the counsel general from the People’s Republic of China and the New York mission expelled, and I’ve been informed that the counsel general is no longer in the New York mission,’ Hochul said.
He was seen hurrying out of the embassy building on Wednesday, the New York Post reports.
It comes after Hochul’s former deputy chief-of-staff and ex-Cuomo aide Sun and her husband were slapped with espionage and money laundering charges.
Hochul said she had asked the US State Department to expel He.
“I conveyed my desire to have the Consul General from the People’s Republic of China and the New York Mission expelled, and I’ve been informed that the Consul General is no longer in the New York mission,” she told reporters.
“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 added.
