U.S. Army Soldiers Arrested By FBI For ‘Betraying’ Country To China

One former soldier and two active-duty U.S. Army soldiers were arrested over alleged schemes to send national defense information to China. 

The Justice Department announced Thursday that Jian Zhao, and Li Tian, both active duty Army soldiers based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington, and former soldier Ruoyu Duan had been charged for stealing U.S. military secrets. They were accused of stealing top secret hard drives, information on weapon systems, and documents on missile defenses to sell to individuals based in China, the DOJ said.
