The Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China in New York (Chinese: 中华人民共和国驻纽约总领事馆), or simply the Consulate General of China in New York, is a diplomatic mission of China in the United States, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The current Consul General is Huang Ping, serving since 2018.[1]

History

[edit]

Protests

[edit]

The Consulate has been the site of numerous protests, including against China's response to the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2022 and to mark the anniversary of the Hong Kong Handover.[2][3][4][5]

Linda Sun indictment

[edit]

In September 2024, Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff to New York governor Kathy Hochul, was indicted for violating the Foreign Agents Registrations Act.[1][6][7] The indictment showed that Sun had worked with the Consulate to prevent then-lieutenant governor Hochul from attending an event at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York.[8][9][10]

The indictment likewise showed Consul General Huang Ping had given direct orders and bribes to Sun.[11] Hochul requested Huang be expelled.[1][12][13] As of October 2024, Huang continued in his capacity as Consul General.[12]
