A California mayor pleading guilty to acting as a foreign agent reads like a local story. Joshua Philipp, senior investigative journalist for the Epoch Times, says the Arcadia case is something else. One visible point in a pattern of China influence that has been running at scale for decades.
Philipp has covered federal investigations into CCP operations across the country. What he describes is not a collection of isolated cases but a documented strategy aimed at placing aligned figures inside American government, business, and media. The question he raises is not whether this is happening in California. It is how much of it has not yet reached a courtroom.
