An American journalist living in China since 2010, Thomas Pauken (writing under Tom McGregor), has pleaded guilty to acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government, facing up to ten years in prison. He allegedly funneled classified intel from U.S. sources to Chinese officials, offering cash and tech tools in exchange for reports meant for President Xi Jinping. His defense says he’s taking responsibility for failing to disclose his work to U.S. authorities. This case is part of a broader crackdown on foreign influence, echoing recent charges against a former California mayor.
