A former CIA officer who provided “a large volume” of classified U.S. national defense information to China was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Sept. 11.

Alexander Yuk Ching Ma, 71, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Hong Kong, was arrested in August 2020. In May, he pleaded guilty to conspiring to gather and deliver national defense information to China, in exchange for a 10-year sentence.
