Chinese consulate officials requested the recording of a Lunar New Year video featuring New York State officials; Sun Wen coordinated the effort, deleted the topic of Uyghurs in Xinjiang raised by the writer, and showed the finished product to the Chinese side in advance.

During an internal New York State virtual meeting held to discuss the pandemic and hate crimes, Linda Sun was accused of using her phone to allow officials from the Chinese Consulate to listen in, while reminding them to remain silent.

Sun Wen is accused of drafting, without authorization, an invitation letter on behalf of a Henan provincial government delegation and forging the signature of Lieutenant Governor Hochul, thereby helping delegation members obtain visas and enter the United States.
