Chinese man arrested in US for allegedly acting ‘as an illegal agent’ of China

CNN  

CNN — A 27-year-old Chinese national was arrested in Chicago Tuesday for allegedly spying on behalf of Beijing, in the same week CIA director Gina Haspel warned against growing Chinese influence abroad. Ji Chaoqun is accused of acting as an “illegal agent” at the direction of a “high-level intelligence officer” of a provincial department of the Ministry of State Security, China’s top espionage agency, the US Department of Justice said in a statement. A student of electrical engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Ji also enlisted in the US Army Reserves under a program in which foreign nationals can be recruited if their skills are considered “vital to the national interest.” Army intelligence “provided valuable assistance” in charging Ji, the statement said, adding that he could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty of acting as an illegal foreign agent. In June, former CIA case officer Kevin Mallory was found guilty of transmitting secret and top secret documents to Chinese spies, in a case prosecutors warned was “no isolated incident.” “The People’s Republic of China has made a sophisticated and concerted effort to steal our nation’s secrets,” John Demers, the assistant attorney general for national security, said after Mallory’s conviction. For its part, the US has also targeted China, recruiting spies and sources, but has faced a concerted counter espionage operation which reportedly “crippled” efforts for over a decade.
