The U.S government charged six Chinese nationals with economic espionage, saying they stole secrets from two companies that develop technology often used in military systems, the Department of Justice said on Tuesday.

It was the third time in as many years that U.S. authorities have made accusations of economic espionage on behalf of China, a sign that the United States is increasingly focused on what it has termed a top national security concern.

One of the suspects, Professor Hao Zhang, 36, was arrested on Saturday in Los Angeles after he arrived on a flight from China, the Justice Department said in a statement. The other five suspects are believed to be in China.

I feel sure it was the absolute incompetence of the Repubs of that time that allowed a wholesale robbery of secrets from NASA among many other organizations and government agencies and businesses, etc. etc., that explains to a great extent why the Chinese have progressed with such speed in many areas. They would have gotten there eventually and rather soon I imagine, but with GWB and his administration it was an outright flood of info headed east.
