A Southern California mayor has agreed to plead guilty to acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government, and has resigned from her city position, officials said Monday.

This one of the weirdest ongoing stories right now. Mostly because she isn’t even denying it.
She’s just like, straight guilty plea, yeah I did it, it was me, I’m the secret agent. Doesn’t she understand American politics? You’re supposed to just deny, delay, defer until you get to the next election cycle.
Better to be imprisoned here than executed in China. It seems like weird politicking to just come out and admit your crime, but sometimes that is actually better than being sent back to or dealing with your home country.
Ahhhhh that’s a good point
Well, she did deny it at first last year, but when it came time to plea she chose guilty. It could still be China’s plan, though, as it is sparking the flames of Racial and Political divide in California, right now.
