WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Chinese woman pleaded guilty Wednesday to helping a spy provide the Chinese government with U.S. military secrets about arms sales to Taiwan.
Yu Sin Kang, a Chinese citizen living legally in the United States, admitted serving as an intermediary for the delivery of classified information from agent Tai Shen Kuo to the Chinese government.
Kang, 33, faces up to 10 years in prison when she is sentenced August 1 in federal court in Virginia. Don't Miss
Kang's plea marks the third and final guilty plea in what the U.S. government has called a "significant" conspiracy to obtain sensitive information on U.S. weapons destined for Taiwan.

Officials alleged that Gregg Bergersen, a weapons systems policy analyst for a Defense Department agency in Arlington, Virginia, sold highly classified information to Kuo, 58, a naturalized citizen who lives in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Kuo is said to have handed the information to Kang, a lawful resident alien also living in New Orleans. Kang in turn allegedly gave the information to a spy for the Chinese government.
Kuo pleaded guilty May 13 and faces a maximum life sentence at his August 8 sentencing.
Bergersen admitted handing over the secrets in exchange for gifts including dinners and a trip to Las Vegas. He said he was duped into believing that Kuo was working for a Taiwanese business that would hire him.

I’ll never know what the hell ol’ Dave was thinking when he cast her. Did he have trouble finding an actress who would really do it in the surf with him?
Was she the director’s girlfriend?
Start handing down some serious sentences for starters.
Oh, and stop making it so damn easy for them.
On CSPAN a few weeks ago, a former KGB veteran was speaking at the International Spy Museum. He mentioned that in the eighties one of Reagan’s advisers showed him the vast discrepancy between the numbers of Soviet “diplomats” in the U.S. vis a vis American diplomats in the U.S.S.R. They had a pretty good idea who the spies were so Reagan countermanded the (predictable) State Dept. squeals of protest and expelled the russkies in mass quantities on the pretext of “equalizing” their respective diplomatic missions.
According to the former KGB guy this huge, unanticipated expulsion of agent handlers absolutely derailed their many (though not quite all) spy ops and hastened the end of the Cold War.
He sure didn’t order the wham-bam-kung-pao-thank-you-ma’am. :O)
10 years? How about hanging?
Probably a big Clinton campaign donor.
The one in “She Blinded Me With Science” wasn’t bad (”Good Heavens, Miss Nakamoto, you’re beautiful”
But the best one was a groupie in Loverboy’s “Lovin Every Minute of It”
Whoooooooooooa whoa whoa whoa.
Do you think Norinco? Their agents showed up at a White House coffee ot two, I believe, during Slick Willy’s term.
