A US Navy sailor in California has been convicted of espionage for selling the force's secrets to a Chinese agent who recruited him through social media.
Jinchao Wei, 25, was convicted of six charges, including espionage, conspiracy to commit espionage, and unlawful export of classified data about US Navy ships.
"The defendant's actions represent an egregious betrayal of the trust placed in him as a member of the US military," US Attorney Adam Gordon said in a statement after the verdict was read.

Of course, when we go to war with China, we won’t have the stones to do what needs to be done.
Hmm. I wonder what their first clue was?
Can we hang him? We need a good execution. I don’t think I’ve had one in my lifetime.
it’s always— “ U.S. man: Bong-Bong Wu” or some such.
Legally speaking, it isn’t treason unless we are at war and the betrayal was to the enemy we are actually fighting.
Gotta be a typo - the other guy mentioned in the article got only 27 MONTHS?
It would be good if the example could be Fang Fang’s loverboy.
I agree.
My best guess is he was NOT here on H1-B work visa.

Just check the roster at places like Los Alamos (NM) and the three Sandia Laboratories (located at Lawrence Livermore in Livermore, at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, and the test facility in Waimea, Kauaʻi, Hawaii) to get really surprised...
