Chinese Professors Among Six Defendants Charged with Economic Espionage and Theft of Trade Secrets

It is incredible how many of their citizens basically seem to work for the
government, and believe in the government. Do they really? Are they held

of six individuals with economic espionage and theft of trade secrets for
their roles in a long-running effort to obtain U.S. trade secrets for the
benefit of universities and companies controlled by the PRC government.

access to and knowledge of sensitive U.S. technologies to illegally obtain
and share U.S. trade secrets with the PRC for economic advantage," said
Assistant Attorney General Carlin. "Economic espionage imposes great costs

U.S. interests worldwide."
