A former Connecticut resident and Chinese citizen who allegedly worked on the F135 engine was charged with trying to take sensitive documents about military technology to China, according to a criminal complaint unsealed on Tuesday.

Yu Long was en route to China in November via Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey where customs officers found proprietary documents in his luggage that included equations and test results used to develop titanium for U.S. military aircraft, prosecutors said.

Between 2008 and earlier this year, Yu Long worked as a senior engineer for a Connecticut defense contractor. He had said he worked on the F119 and F135 engines, which are used in U.S. fighter aircraft and manufactured by United Technologies Corp.

Yu Long worked for the United Technologies Research Center, which does research for the conglomerate, a source familiar with the case said. He was let go in May when the probe began.

That’s crap.

Been in Defense/space/aero for 30 years. Have relatives, friends, coworkers all out there looking for work, everyone high qualified.

No luck. Old white guys need not apply. Even if your degree is from Big name technical school and lots of experience. Too costly! No affirmative action points! The immigrant hiring mgr no like you!

Plenty of Americans then and now to do jobs.

Or more accurately, Nixon’s most influential constituents. Then later, their sons and daughters were Clinton’s constituents.

During the middle of the 1980s, my English comp. 2 instructor in an American university proudly said that she was a PLA captain. Aren't you proud of the influential alumni of our U.S.A.--great leaders in business, academia and politics?
