A Chinese national living in California recently pleaded guilty to stealing U.S. military technology on behalf of the Chinese regime.

Between 2013 and 2015, Cathy Chen, whose Chinese name is Chen Si, sent “advanced radar, military-grade communications jammers, low-noise amplifiers, and Ka-band space communications” to China via Hong Kong, without seeking approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce, according to a July 12 report by Orange County Weekly, a California newspaper, citing federal prosecutors. Products with sensitive technology are under export control and require special permission to ship overseas.
