Arcadia, California, Mayor Eileen Wang was federally charged Tuesday with acting as an illegal foreign agent of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), according to a Department of Justice (DOJ) press release.

Wang, 58, faces one count of acting in the U.S. as an illegal agent of a foreign government, the DOJ stated in the same
press release. She has agreed to plead guilty to the charge, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Wang also resigned Monday from her role as mayor, The Associated Press (AP) reported.

Wang was elected to the Arcadia City Council — the five-person governing body from which the mayor is selected on a rotating basis — in November 2022, according to the DOJ. She is accused of working with Yaoning “Mike” Sun to promote the PRC’s interests in the U.S. from late 2020 through 2022, according to her plea agreement. Wang and Sun operated U.S. News Center, a website that claimed to be a news source for the local Chinese American community. The pair allegedly posted pro-PRC content on the website at the directives of the PRC.

Wang also allegedly communicated with a PRC official via WeChat, sharing and editing an essay the official had written for The Los Angeles Times on her website.Additionally, in November 2021, Wang allegedly communicated with John Chen, a high-ranking member of the PRC’s intelligence, and asked him to post a news article from her website.

“This is what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to send,” Wang purportedly wrote, according to the same plea agreement.

Trump Says No Need for China’s Assistance in Resolving Iran War

‘We’ll win it one way or the other,’ the U.S. president said of the war waged to ensure Iranian regime does not get access to nuclear weapons.

President Donald Trump said on May 12 that the United States does not need China’s help to resolve the war with Iran, which has tightened control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump made the remarks outside the White House before departing for China, where he is expected to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping for a high-stakes summit. The president said he will have a “long talk” with Xi about the Iran war but did not see an absolute need for China’s assistance. 

“I don’t think we need any help with Iran. We’ll win it one way or the other. We’ll win it peacefully or otherwise,” he told reporters.

Trump said that China is far more dependent on the Strait of Hormuz for oil shipments than the United States, which has its own oil resources, though he...

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump departed Washington on Tuesday afternoon for China, where he will meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping for a high-stakes summit.

Trump’s May 13–15 trip
marks the first U.S. presidential visit to China since his 2017 state visit during his first term.

Trade is expected to dominate discussions between the two leaders, though several sensitive issues, including the Iran war, human rights, and Taiwan, are also likely to take center stage.

Speaking to reporters ahead of his departure, Trump expressed optimism ahead of his meeting with Xi.

“We’re going to have a very good meeting,” he said.

TIPSHEET

Marco Rubio to Attend China Summit With Trump, Even Though the Country Banned Him

Dmitri Bolt | May 12, 2026 5:00 PM

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to accompany President Trump on his high-stakes trip to China, despite having previously been banned from entering the country.

In 2020, then-Senator Rubio was sanctioned by China and barred from entry over his criticism of Beijing’s human rights record, particularly its treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang and its crackdown in Hong Kong during national security law and pro-democracy protests.

OPINION

When the Pope Isn't Right

Cal Thomas | May 12, 2026

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.


Vatican Media via AP


It must be the highlight for any Roman Catholic to meet the head of his church. So it must have been last week for Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a practicing Catholic.

Rubio was on more than a spiritual journey. His mission was to persuade Pope Leo XIV of the rightness, even the righteousness, of the Trump administration's actions to destroy Iran's goal of acquiring a nuclear weapon and likely using it as a means of intimidation, or possibly launching it as a weapon of war.

The Pope is committed to resolving disputes through diplomacy. That course would be worth pursuing if Iran's leaders and the U.S. had even remotely similar goals in mind.

Just as Catholics and Protestants differ in their theology, Islamists differ with just about everybody else, whether they be religious or secular. Tehran's goals also differ from just about everybody else, be they religious or even secular. Islamic extremists have repeatedly made clear their goal is world domination. They openly proclaim Allah has commanded them to do so. History and current events show they are serious.

Winston Churchill understood this early in his life. In his 1899 book, "The River War: An Account of the Reconquest of the Sudan," Churchill acknowledged the "splendid qualities of individual Muslims, but described the religion itself as a "retrograde force" and "far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith."

Consequential Trump Recombines, Rebuilds American Power


A painting by U.S. artist Marc Lipp depicting U.S. President Donald Trump during the assassination attempt on his life in Bulter Pa., July 13, 2024, as seen in the Grand Foyer of the White House - Oct. 10, 2025. (Saul Loeb/AFP/ (Photo by Saul Loeb via Getty Images)

After recently facing and surviving his third assassination attempt, President Donald Trump was asked why he keeps getting shot at. Mr. Trump’s response gave America a line for the ages, "Only consequential presidents get shot at. . . it's a dangerous business."

Far from bravado, Trump offered history in real time.

Some presidents manage decline.

A few expose it. Trump forced America to confront whether decline was ever inevitable or simply policy-based.

The facts answer that consequential question.

Reversal at the border has been historic. After years of migrant encounters running above two million annually, enforcement changes drove illegal crossings down to levels not seen in decades.

...

Trump belongs to that older American type. He is rough, relentless, excessive, impossible to manage, and unwilling to bow.

His great achievement is not one policy. It is the recombination of American power.


He's proven that:

—Borders can be enforced.
—Energy can be produced.
—Wages can rise.
—Judges can restrain the state.


Speech can be defended. China can be confronted. Iran can be pressured. Fentanyl can be treated like warfare. The military can be restored to lethality. The federal government can be forced back toward citizenship, merit, and national interest.

This is why his enemies fear him. Recklessness has nothing to do with it. Trump proved that decline was and remains a choice.

OP-ED_ The Republican opponent is not Democrats. It’s leftist ‘news’ and social media (Ken Convoy - WASHINGTON EXAMINER)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER

The Republican opponent is not Democrats. It’s leftist ‘news’ and social media

By Ken Convoy
Published May 12, 2026 6:00am ET

VIDEO

To win elections from a local school board to the presidency requires neutralizing key parts of the leftist media and Silicon Valley, which promote lies and misinformation about President Donald Trump, or any Republican president, and Republicans in general, while covering up Democratic wrongs.

This manipulation of the American electorate, also by selective coverage of news stories, delivers hundreds of millions of dollars worth of free Democrat media during each election cycle that the GOP cannot match.

Trump-Musk Power Duo Reunites for Showdown With Communist China

President Trump and Elon Musk ... reunited again?

The president has personally invited the Tesla CEO, along with a powerful delegation of top American business leaders, including Apple’s Tim Cook and BlackRock’s Larry Fink, to join him on a high-stakes trip to China this week.

The delegation will take part in a direct summit with President Xi Jinping.

After months of distance following the 2024 election cycle, the high-profile reunion signals a renewed alliance as the Trump-Musk power duo prepares to negotiate major business deals and push for American interests.

The band is back together again, albeit in a less dramatic capacity. This is almost as big as seeing Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite for an Oasis tour. Almost.
