I am just reading the court document and my question is that there is no doubt she had ties and/or a patriotic slant towards her country of origin, but was she really also just debunking certain American propaganda about China? Can the American legal system prove that China has slaves working in the cotton fields?
Her plea of guilty doesn't mean that she is actually guilty of what they want to charge her with, she may simply be taking a deal which is better for her. Just like her co-conspirator who probably chose a plea deal of 4 years instead of 10 years imprisonment. Who wouldn't?

There has been no legal determination by a competent national or international court that China is committing genocide. However, the issue is heavily contested, with some governments and independent tribunals declaring it genocide, while China and other nations deny the allegations.
Accusations of Genocide- US Government: In January 2021, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo officially declared that China was committing genocide against Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang.
- Canadian Parliament: The House of Commons Subcommittee on International Human Rights concluded in 2021 that China's actions constitute genocide under the Genocide Convention.
- Uyghur Tribunal: An unofficial UK-based tribunal ruled in December 2021 that China had committed genocide, citing forced birth control and sterilization as primary evidence.
- Other Bodies: The Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect and the Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy have also published reports accusing China of genocide.
Denials and Lack of Legal Consensus- Chinese Government: Beijing consistently denies these accusations, calling them a "complete lie" and asserting that its policies in Xinjiang are aimed at combating terrorism and promoting stability.
- International Courts: The International Criminal Court (ICC) declined to investigate because China is not a party to its Rome Statute. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) cannot take action without UN Security Council approval, which is blocked by China's veto power.
- Other Governments: While some nations like the UK have not officially declared the actions genocide, citing the need for a legal determination by a competent court, others have passed parliamentary resolutions recognizing it. Several countries in Asia and Africa have supported China's policies as anti-terrorism measures. " (LLM)

The more podcasts/videos I watch from people from The West that visit China, the more I can see why nations that fail their people want to push propaganda against China.
What's in the video below:
Who and what China is.
China is already a great power - people in the West can not understand it through the Western prism.
The recent rise of China globally has them leading in manufacturing, robotics, vehicles, trading relationships etc.
"If you go to China you'll never see the world the same again."
Western people judge China by Western values and standards.
Chinese people look to the state to lead them in their best interests, unlike The West as seen during the Covid-19 pandemic where there was a nationwide protest there to relax restrictions, which they did, and cases began surging massively again.

If you don't have 2 hrs. to spend watching the video, here is a TED talk that sums it up. It is claimed, via an old silk scroll artwork, that the Chinese were the ones that invented golf...all in the TED talk.
Eileen Wang was born in China, she was raised under their culture, philosophies, and historical trials and tribulations - she is from extremely different civilizational roots.
