Two US Navy sailors charged with giving Chinese spies secret military info
Two US Navy service members appeared in federal court Thursday accused of espionage and stealing sensitive military information for China in separate cases.
Wei, a 22-year-old machinist's mate assigned to the USS Essex amphibious assault ship, was arrested August 3 and charged with spying after he arrived for work at a naval base in San Diego, California. According to his indictment [] Wei had exchanged classified information with a Chinese government contact just two days prior.
Zhao worked as a construction electrician at the Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme, California. He held a US security clearance, and allegedly received bribes from a Chinese intelligence officer in exchange for sensitive US military information, photos and videos beginning in August 2021. It is said that the Chinese intel officer posed as a maritime economic researcher in order to persuade Zhao to hand over the info in exchange for payment.
