Global News Podcast · The Global Story: The American mayor accused of working for China · 24 May 2026 podcast

Thanks, Tristan.

Really appreciate it.

These are allegations that have been made against Aileen Wang.

She has not been convicted of anything at this point.

She agreed to plead guilty, yeah.

Okay, but just to be clear, Andrew, this is slightly different from what many of us might consider to be traditional espionage.

Now, when we think of people in a country acting on behalf of a foreign government, we think of them gathering information, right?

And then sharing it back to a foreign country, whereas this is a slightly different accusation, isn't it?

It's an accusation that Aileen Wang was actually broadcasting, disseminating information on behalf of a foreign government.

So output as opposed to input almost, is that a fair way of describing it?

For cases that have come to light and been proven, how much do we know about the actual motivating factors for people who've been found to have been acting on behalf of the Chinese government?

Is it ideological, financial, or something else?

That's a fascinating nuance.

So it's almost doing it in order to kind of cultivate a network of connections and obligations.

Is that right?

The story of Eileen Wang in Arcadia, California, I mean, seems relatively small fry, the accusations against her, compared to some of the things that you have written about in your book, Andrew, in which you focus very much on espionage or accusations of Chinese espionage to do with stealing secrets from the United States.

What is the extent of suspicion around that kind of activity in the United States right now?

So the suggestion is that these wave power generation technologies are used specifically for a military energy output.

I should say that the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, CSIC,

which was accused of stealing information from the Scottish firm Pelamis, says those claims are totally groundless.
