Interesting that the guy was charged with "economic" espionage rather than military espionage.
...Corning’s Wang Ji was indicted on charges of economic espionage, theft of trade secrets, and unlawful exports. Wang, who worked for the company from 1998 to 2019, was a lead scientist on a Corning project developing optical laser fibers to attack hostile drones, which counted $16 million in funding from the U.S. government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
He allegedly stole files relevant to the project to set up a business using the same technology in China and was in negotiations with several Chinese Communist Party authorities in the city of Tianjian to set up the company....
Don't be surprised that Chinese nationals are busy stealing secrets over here. In fact, you shouldn't be surprised that Big Global hires them, either.
This used to be a country, this USA.....
