U.S. Army Soldiers Arrested for Selling Military Secrets to China

Three U.S. Army soldiers, two active and one former, were arrested on Thursday for selling sensitive military documents and information to buyers in China.

Li Tian and Ruoyu Duan were charged in Oregon for “conspiring to commit bribery and theft of government property,” the Department of Justice said. Jian Zhao was charged in Washington for the same crimes but also for “conspiring to obtain and transmit national defense information to an individual not authorized to receive it.” The unauthorized recipients were based in China.
