Petty Officer Jinchao "Patrick" Wei, 25, was convicted of six federal charges including espionage. Prosecutors say he passed sensitive Navy ship information to a Chinese intelligence officer for $12,000. Wei is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 1 and faces a lengthy prison term.

Sent photos and videos of the USS Essex
Provided ship movement information and weapons details
Shared technical manuals and restricted documents from Navy systems
Keel haul the bugger
Pretty low price.
I hope that means they caught him in the early phases of his involvement with the Chinese, and that what he gave them was fairly low-level, with higher-level stuff still to come.
Hang him from the tall mast.
Shut off ALL Chinese immigration for good
That’s only $600/yr that he got for the sentence that he might get.
And then no more “naturalized” chinese in any branch of the service.
China is an enemy right now. Arseholes have forgotten we helped them out quite a few times. They’re lucky the Japs aren’t their masters right now.
Couldn’t hold out for 12,500? Against China?
That’s a real “art of the deal man” there! lol Trump should send an autographed copy to him in Leavenworth.
Why not execute him publicly? Pour encourager les autres.....
“ Wei, a China-born naturalized U.S. citizen, enlisted in the Navy and was stationed at Naval Base San Diego. Prosecutors”
Well, some group within the organization vetted this twerp
Keel haul in shark infested waters.
> Pretty low price. <
I suspect that his spied because of his devotion to Communist China. The money was just to cover expenses.
If I’m right, then cut him some slack. Give him a copy of Mao’s Little Red Book. Then throw him into some pit at the worst federal prison possible.
Was not his to sell. He is a thief and a traitor.
Sell him to a prison in Turkey.
One Treasonist
One firing squad
Problem solved
The most damaging espionage against the United States has always been the “true believers” who don’t even do it for money. I think it was Aldrich Ames or that Walker guy, or somebody like that.
They should charge the guy, court martial, and execute sailors on a friday morning guilty of that. Should only take a few weeks. Then cut everybody loose for a 3 day weekend.
Hiring foreign scumbags from China for the military really wasn’t a good idea. They never would have done that 20 years ago. Those are the bad guys.
The really high-level stuff has been flowing to the chicoms for many years...
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...
The infestation of chicom spies has been supported by the communists who occupied the WH in 1957-1960, 1993-2000, 2009-2016, and 2021-2024...
His defense should be: “I am Hillary Clinton.” Or for the china secret selling “Also, I am Bill Clinton.”
The Essex was my last ship.
Hang him for $12.00 of rope.
Ames did it for the money. I recently read a book about him. He and his wife were both greedy bastards.
