Eileen Wang, the former Mayor of Arcadia in Los Angeles County, California, has made headlines after admitting to spreading Chinese propaganda in the US as part of a plea deal. Wang resigned as mayor after the plea deal and faces scrutiny over her role in a media website with her ex-fiancé, Yaoning 'Mike' Sun, who was convicted of spying against Taiwan.
Wang's journey from China's Sichuan province to Southern California 30 years ago is a story of naturalized US citizenship, relationships, and two children. Born in either 1967 or 1968, Wang came to the US through her father, a physician who worked at the University of Southern California. She moved to Arcadia in the 2000s and became a naturalized US citizen, although the exact date is unknown.
Wang's personal life is largely private, with no publicly reported marriages or relationships outside of her ex-fiancé, Yaoning Sun, who became a naturalized US citizen in 2012. Wang has two sons who live with her in Arcadia, but little is known about her family beyond that.
