A naturalized U.S. citizen originally from China has been charged with acting as a spy for China, court documents unsealed on Sept. 30 reveal.

Federal prosecutors accuse Xuehua (Edward) Peng, 56, of being an illegal foreign agent and delivering classified U.S. national security information to officials in China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS)—the country’s chief intelligence agency.
