A Chinese man was sentenced to federal prison for attempting to illegally smuggle people from his home country to the U.S. territory of Guam in the Western Pacific Ocean, officials said on Tuesday.

Zhongli Pang, 36, attempted to smuggle Chinese visitors to the Northern Mariana Islands—U.S. territory that does not require a visa from Chinese nationals—into Guam, which does require a visa.
