    I thought it was gonna be the ol’ 20k cash for leaking government secrets but its actually a charge for forward posting PRC propaganda on her news site while acting in government lol.

    It doesn’t mention a plea bargain but I assume there’s probably lessened repercussion for doing so, probably because the feds want to make an example as usual.

      I’m assuming her collaborator, Sun, got only 4 years for a plea deal and now Wang is looking at 10, but only time will tell.
