A man who pleaded guilty to killing his boss at a U.S.-based Chinese-language newspaper’s office in Alhambra, California in 2018 was sentenced to 21 years in state prison on May 1.
Zhong Qi Chen, 64, shot and killed his boss Yining Xie, founder and chairman of China Press—or Qian Bao in Chinese—and five years after the incident, he accepted a plea deal in late March reducing his charges from murder to voluntary manslaughter and the intentional use of a firearm.
