U.S. DOJ: Chinese Spy Targeted GE, Other Aviation Firms
Used "Academic" Seminars As Bait

The U.S. Justice Department has arrested and indicted an alleged Chinese spy for attempting to steal trade secrets from GE Aviation and at least two other U.S. aviation companies in activities dating to 2013. “This indictment alleges that a Chinese intelligence officer sought to steal trade secrets and other sensitive information from an American company that leads the way in aerospace,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers. “This case is not an isolated incident. It is part of an overall economic policy of developing China at American expense.”
