Two U.S. Navy sailors have been arrested on charges related to allegedly spying for China, federal prosecutors announced on Thursday.
Both are accused of having passed along national defense information to Chinese intelligence officials in return for cash payments, though their cases are separate.
Jinchao "Patrick" Wei, a 22-year-old petty officer 2nd class, was arrested Wednesday and charged with espionage -- more specifically, conspiracy to and committing the communication of defense information to aid a foreign government.
According to officials, citing the indictment against him, Wei served as a machinist's mate aboard the amphibious ship USS Essex, which is currently receiving maintenance at Naval Base San Diego.
Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, of Monterey Park, California, was also arrested Wednesday, by FBI and NCIS agents, and is charged with conspiracy and receipt of a bribe by a public official, officials said, according to Zhao's indictment.
Zhao, 26, worked at the Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme and had an active U.S. security clearance who had access to classified information, officials said.

Admiral material under Obama. errr Biden. sorry
Biden to call and apologize to China tomorrow.
We should start rounding them up and putting them into interment camps
until they can be shipped back to beloved homeland.
Were the sailors dressed as balloon?
enemy’s all around!!!
Death penalty, if true. Don’t care how or why.
At least the weren’t straight white males...
the->they
Put ‘em up against the wall.
If the NIS (Naval Investigative Service) or whatever it is called now was worth a damn (because the FBI won’t do it) they would take every single naturalized citizen who came from Communist China and joined the US Navy and do a deep dive on them as a matter of course.
But they won’t.
Some won’t like doing that, and will likely compare it to FDR’s internment of Japanese. They will say it is an infringement on their rights.
I don’t see it that way. These people may or may not be guilty of being agents of the CCP. But this is clearly a problem and a deliberate practice by the Communists.
We have been at war with the Communist Chinese for nearly three decades now, and while they fully realize they are waging war on us and are fully engaged in the process, the United States refuses to see the reality of this.
Well that means we gotta roust the entire city of Monterey Park, which up until ‘bout 40 years ago was mostly White with some Mexocants.
When the HK people started arriving in the late 70s - early 80s they came in squadron strength. The joke was “will the last American out of Monterey Park take down the flag”. People in my family among that group....hadda head out. Got too weird. People who had been there since the 30’s.
Somthese little darlings are “first generation”. Real asset, huh? Plus we got the Maoist racist Judy Chu to camp out in our Congress and screech.
Ain’t mass immigration great?
I assume that any PRC person in the US is a spy.
Multiply this times thousands. Tens of thousands. All secreted into every facet of our government, education and industry. All committing espionage and emailing the stolen data back the Motherland. Or Xi.
In short, two chinese nationals joined the US military and the government let them.
You should, they are. If not doing so of their own free will, its under pressure to.
This is the crap that happens when you invite America-hating, foreigners to join the U.S. Military. It’s time to put “the White House” in jail for what he has done to the AMERICAN military.
Yeah, a continuing “fundamental transformation”. Taking control of the military is the final step.
Also the children of these people.
