SAN DIEGO (AP) — Two U.S. Navy sailors have been arrested and accused of providing sensitive military information to China — including details on wartime exercises, Naval operations and critical technical material, federal officials said Thursday.
Jinchao Wei, a 22-year-old sailor assigned to the San Diego-based USS Essex, was arrested Wednesday on a charge related to espionage involving conspiracy to send national defense information to Chinese officials, according to the U.S. officials. The Justice Department also charged Navy service member Wenhen Zhao, 26, accusing him of taking bribes in exchange for giving sensitive U.S. military photos and videos to a Chinese intelligence officer between August 2021 through at least this May.
Federal officials spoke about the cases Thursday during a news conference in San Diego. The two sailors were charged with similar crimes, but they were charged in separate cases, and it wasn’t clear Thursday if the two were connected or if they were courted or paid by the same Chinese intelligence officer.

Dummies. They need to raise their prices a lot, hire Hunter Biden, and kick 10% up to the big guy that gives weather reports.

Looks like Ft. Leavenworth for a lifetime remainder...oh, I forgot. The Biden Family wants in on the take from these two traitors, so they’ll be pardoned subsequent. When was the last time a US soldier was executed for espionage? I can’t recall if its ever happened.
It looks like these are 2 unrelated cases
Right?

Right?
We let the one give away our secrets for 2 years?
In the Chinese community it’s considered ok to break any rule as long as you don’t get caught.

Another diversity win.
At least it wasn’t white men in those positions...
Diversity is our strength.
I wonder how many more are doing the same? God help us. Thank you God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
Doesn’t treason committed by military individuals automatically qualify for a firing squad?
Unrelated cases. Sixteen months for one and two years for the other. It leaves one to wonder how they caught them; both either made some missteps or the Chinese intelligence office was under surveillance and the NCIS/FBI followed up on his contacts.
One of the downsides of running a woke, globalized empire.
Send a message of the death penalty for these scumbags. You can bet with all the third worlders entering our military this is the tip of the iceberg.
They probably cannot execute them.
Life in Leavenworth with no parole.
The entire Biden family took millions from China and gave them documents, so when are they gonna be tried for treason
