Nearby: Manhattan, NYNEW YORK (AP) — A member of New York’s Chinese dissident community who admitted spying for five years on his fellow activists on behalf of the Chinese government avoided prison time at his sentencing Thursday in Manhattan federal court. Yuanjun Tang, 69, an outspoken critic of the Chinese Communist Party for over three decades, was sentenced to three years’ probation by Judge John G. Koeltl. The judge said claims by some individuals who believe they and their families were targeted for harm because of Tang’s actions could not be proven. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jane Chong had asked the judge to impose a five-year prison sentence, the maximum Tang could face after pleading guilty in September 2025 to a charge that he failed to register as an agent of the People’s Republic of China with the U.S. attorney general’s office.

Snowmass Village Sun · New York City, NY
Nearby: New York City, NYIt happened to me recently in a New York City restaurant. I was interested in ordering a bottle of wine to go with a wood-fired pizza and chose a California Zinfandel instead of the pricy Barolo that the sommelier had suggested. The somm copped an attitude and shook his head with an obvious disdain for my selection. “That’s not what I would drink,” he said when I asked him what his problem was. “The Barolo pairs really well but you can drink … whatever.” I certainly can. It was an attempt at wine intimidation, and the comments were unappreciated. It cost the somm a tip as well. But the bright side was that the incident reminded me of a column from the past where I discussed some of the intimidation that people can feel when it comes to the culture of wine. Here is what I wrote in that WineInk: Do you know your Txakoli from your Albariño? Or how about what malolactic fermentation or carbonic maceration are? Do you know what grape grows best in Central Otago and Rio Negro?

Nearby: New York City, NYThere has been an incessant fever for Harry Styles writhing through New York City for the past two and a half months. As he made the city his home for his 30-day residency at Madison Square Garden for his “Together, Together,” tour, remnants of the artist and his gleaming mark have been left lingering all throughout. He was spotted a myriad of times jogging around the city, as well as simply sauntering the streets with his iconic lounge-wear, wired headphones and comical lines to spew at paparazzi. Lines stretched East Village streets for hours outside of his “Together, Together” pop-up that carried limited merchandise, photo-ops and special interactive experiences.

The Wichita Beacon · New York City, NY
Nearby: New York City, NYLast week, The Beacon joined some of the country’s most accomplished news organizations in New York City for the national Edward R. Murrow Awards. We were there to celebrate our first Murrow Award, earned in partnership with KBIA for our investigative series Dumped in Berger. It was an exciting milestone for our relatively young newsroom, and one that gave us plenty of reasons to be proud of what we’ve built. Our three-part investigation, Dumped in Berger, won for investigative reporting in the Small Market Radio category, placing our work alongside some of the best journalism produced in the country. For a relatively young nonprofit newsroom, that’s a significant accomplishment, and it reflects years of work to build the reporting capacity, editorial leadership and partnerships necessary to pursue ambitious stories. It’s also a powerful example of what philanthropic investment in journalism can make possible.
