The appearance of a Chinese government official at a New Year’s Eve event in Times Square has raised questions regarding how connected the local government is to agents of China’s communist regime.

The “Hong Kong Rocks!” event, organized by the Times Square Alliance and celebrated in Times Square this past New Year’s Eve, gave pride of place to Huang Ping, current consul general of the Chinese Embassy in New York.
