Californian accused of stealing secret U.S.-made missile tech to assist China- Chenguang Gong, U.S. citizen born in China-Anybody Notice A Pattern |
2024-02-09 |
[Axios] The Department of Justice announced charges in two separate cases Wednesday over allegedly "sophisticated schemes to transfer sensitive technology, goods, and information" to benefit the governments of China and Iran. The big picture: In one case in California, Chenguang Gong, a 57-year-old U.S. citizen who was born in China, is accused of stealing trade secrets developed for use by the U.S. government to detect nuclear missile launches and track ballistic and hypersonic missiles, per a DOJ statement.
Separately, two Iranian nationals in New York were charged with conspiring to export equipment used in the aerospace industry to Iran in relation to allegations of conspiracy to illegally export U.S. goods and technology without the required licenses.
Zoom out: The cases come one year after the launch of the DOJ's Disruptive Technology Strike Force, which aims to prevent nation-state adversaries from stealing critical U.S. technologies.
Meanwhile, Jim Mancuso, assistant director of the global trade division at Homeland Security Investigations, told ABC News Wednesday that the governments of Iran, China and Russia were all "attempting to illegally acquire" American technology. |
