A Chinese spy has been charged by the US federal government with economic espionage charges related to United states aviation secrets.
The spy, Yanjun Xu of the Ministry of State Security is accused of attempting to steal trade secrets from the US’s leading defence aviation firms.
The apprehension of the spy comes as US law enforcement has come under fire in recent years for indictments of enemy operatives not leading to courtroom proceedings, as the Chinese spy will be brought to the United States to face charges.
