China stealing everything they can from America ..


China has been increasingly successful in recruiting former U.S. intelligence officers to pass along government secrets, a trend that is getting more attention as the Trump administration attempts to limit Beijing’s spy abilities.

At least four Americans have pleaded guilty or were convicted of espionage or attempted spying on behalf of the Chinese over the past year. Kevin Mallory, who was convicted of espionage charges and lying to the FBI, was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday.

Mallory, 62, spent more than 20 years in intelligence, first as a covert case officer for the CIA and later as an intelligence officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency. Prosecutors alleged he gave his Chinese handlers documents of a classified spying operation and a CIA analysis of a foreign country’s intelligence capabilities.

Mallory was a rare example of a spying case going to trial. Since March, three other Americans have accepted plea agreements: Ron Hansen, 58, a former intelligence officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency; Jerry Chun Shing Lee, 54, a former CIA case officer; and 63-year-old Candace Claiborne, a former State Department employee.

Top U.S. officials have warned of China’s long-term, multipronged campaign to advance Chinese interests at the cost of American national security.
