The Mayor of New York City, Mr. Eric Adams, is under indictment for a variety of alleged crimes, not the least of which involves accepting bribes. The man has been under scrutiny by the press and Federal investigators for some time, going back to his role as a borough president in 2014. Recently, one of his former aides and a City employee, Winnie Greco, resigned from her City position as an in house aide/advisor to Mr. Adams on Chinese American topics. NYC has a large Asian community, mostly made up of ethnic Chinese.
Since his entry into the political milieu of NYC, Mr. Adams gave Ms. Greco his ear and she returned the favor by proving to be a terrific fund raiser among Asian community members. She promoted ties with Beijing and negotiated sister-city partnerships while escorting Mr. Adams to China on many trips. The F.B.I. began its investigations of Ms. Greco and Mayor Adams years ago, focusing on those ties to the Communist regime in China. Mr. Adams was a supporter of a Chinese non-profit based in NYC that had ties to Chinese Communist media outlets that represented the Beijing government. The America Changle Association NY had offices in NY's Chinatown and would later house the illegal Chinese police station there. The nonprofit was managed by one Harry Lu. Mr.Lu was a member of Adam's tour group that visited the offices of the Fujian Daily in China. The outlet is a part of the Communist regime's propaganda operations.
In 2017, Mayor Adam's aided the Beijing machine by praising the Belt and Road dream of Beijing. This project, on its face, was an international influencing scheme to exert Beijing's influence worldwide. Basically, it was designed to ensnare 3rd world countries by offering them loans to build infrastructure despite little means to repay said loans. This clearly shows that Mayor Adams is a naif on every landscape outside of NYC and most of the landscape of the City itself. The slippery political roads of NYC are fraught with innumerable potholes that ensnare unwary pols and have been doing same for years and years. Any visitor to NYC knows about the ancient subway system that has been on its last leg(s) for decades. All residents of the City know that its falling apart and has not been maintained in any suitable manner. Compare the City's subway to any system outside the USA and becomes evident that the old system is archaic and should be replaced immediately.
So how will things go for Mr. Adams in the future and for the City? Not well. Soon mr. Adams will be tried and convicted and sent to prison. Then a new mayor will be elected. And guess what? Old Ndrew Cuomo is looking to run for mayor. Imagine that.
There's little hope for the City as long as Wall St. calls the shots.
