Ping.
This is exactly why they are willing to do this. He should be put to death for treason, period.
If he changes his plea to guilty and cooperates give him five years off a life without parole sentence.
He needs to be punished severely.
I’m guessing though, that there are Chinese here that are being threatened by foreign assets, maybe being told that their loved ones in China will be hurt Unless they Spy.
But it’s still a crime.
If you’re a US citizen, you don’t betray your country.
I do not believe the data was classified as it would be illegal to be on a regular computer. The data was prohibited by ITARS from being exported outside the USA.
Ran into a lot of issues with ITARS going to/from Iraq via commercial air carries, for example checking body armor in your luggage constituted an ITARS violation.
However, this case appears to be intentional. Hang em high.
It would be racist to observe he has a racial, cultural and national attachment to China.
I have been saying since the late 90s...No more chinese allowed to work in certain tech fields. so solly. Screw them. And raytheon should be fined a billion dollars for their utter weakness and stupidity.
bttt
He should go a Wei where he sees no Sun...
Where I worked secret documents were stored in a safe.
Two people had to be there to open the safe and to sign documents in and out.
I worked at Raytheon for 35 years until 2018. You cannot take a classified laptop out of the facility except as a courier, and only for a specific purpose. In general you cannot share unclassified company or government information with outside parties.
You cannot take a company laptop outside the country, even when traveling on company business. Not even to Canada. If you need a laptop during travel, for email for instance, you use a loaner.
There was a white engineer who had two daughters about to start college. He told the company that he considered the information on his laptop his business, and that he was taking it on a trip to India, whose government was paying him for a presentation. Customs seized his company owned laptop at Logan, the FBI raided his house and office, every strip of paper was removed his office. And he never came back. I wonder how his daughters are doing in college.
Thanos is dealing with the problem.
And we sit around - all teary eyed - at the horror of the Nisei and Issei interred at the start of WW2. (Most of ‘em were great folks and loyal Americans, I’m sure, BUT...)
If the leaders of a country are that utterly stupid as to entrust non-Americans with their crown jewels, then there is no hope for the country. Notice I said non-American, and not non-citizen. Just because someone has American citizenship status, that does not make him an American.
From the article:
The case, which has not been reported until now, is yet another example of China’s increasing efforts to acquire American military technology. The country’s security services have already compromised dozens of crucial US weapons systems, such as the Army’s Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) ballistic missile defense system, and the Aegis ballistic missile defense system used by the Navy. In 2018, Chinese hackers stole top-secret plans for a supersonic anti-ship missile being developed by the Navy known as Sea Dragon. The intruders reportedly managed to get massive amounts of sensitive signals and sensor data, in addition to the Navy’s entire electronic warfare library.
The weapons with which Sun worked are “pretty much top-of-the-line American systems,” according to Dean Cheng, a fellow at the Heritage Foundation who studies China’s military capabilities.
The AMRAAM, or Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile, is used on US fighter jets like the F-16 and F-22 to destroy other aircraft before they can be seen by anything but radar. It has also been converted into a ground-based air defense system, which may have been Sun’s focus, since prosecutors describe his work as focusing on ballistic missile defense.
The documents also say Raytheon employees will provide testimony about the Stinger missile, a “man-portable” air-defense missile that can be fired by troops on the ground, made most famous when the US supplied it to Afghan warlords fighting against occupying Soviet troops.
Perhaps most significant is Sun’s involvement with the Redesigned Kill Vehicle (RKV) program, an effort to replace the interceptor used by US air defense systems to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles.
RED FLAG! Never take a company-issued computer out of the country.
with only a Secret, hopefully he didnt cause too much damage.
No matter how much the liberal idiots howl about it, Chinese-born American citizens should NOT be given access to US secrets. Would China let an American born non-Asian have access to their secrets?
Further, we should absolutely require ANY US defense contractors/companies to sign an agreement that states 'in order to participate in any US military contract work, the contractor/company agrees to pay fines, up to $2 billion to the US treasury if they are found to have employed anyone who is passing secrets to a foreign power, with fines increasing the longer this activity goes undetected by the contractor/company'.
I guarantee they will be a lot more careful vetting who they hire, and observing their employees.
