Three Chinese men have been sent to federal prison in the U.S. for attempting to leak military tech to China. In separate cases, two men - Tah Wei Chao and Zhi Yong Guo - were charged with trying to export thermal-imaging cameras, and the third - William Chi-Wai Tsu - was charged with illegally sending hundreds of military radar systems circuits to Beijing. In the case of exporting circuits, a catalog from Tsu's Beijing company had pictures of military craft and stated a goal of "facilitat[ing] the building of athe national defense of China." He was given a 40-month sentence. Chao was ordered to serve 20 months and Guo was sentenced to five years. Source: Straits Times
