US arrests 4 suspects in China espionage cases

A former Chinese-American engineer at Boeing was arrested Monday for allegedly stealing corporate trade secrets related to the Space Shuttle and other aerospace programs and turning them over to China. Dongfan "Greg" Chung was indicted last Wednesday on charges of economic espionage, conspiracy to commit economic espionage, obstruction of justice, making false statements to FBI investigators, and acting as an unregistered foreign agent. Chung's arrest is reportedly related to the case of Chi Mak, a Chinese-American engineer convicted in 2007 of conspiring to smuggle sensitive naval intelligence data to China.
