JUSTICE.GOV (OPA):

One Soldier Charged with Conspiring to Transmit National Defense Information to Individuals Located in China

View the indictment for Jian Zhao.

Jian Zhao, and Li Tian, active-duty U.S. Army soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, along with Ruoyu Duan, a former U.S. Army soldier, were arrested today following indictments by federal grand juries in the District of Oregon and the Western District of Washington. Tian and Duan were charged in the District of Oregon for conspiring to commit bribery and theft of government property. Zhao was charged in the Western District of Washington for conspiring to obtain and transmit national defense information to an individual not authorized to receive it, and also for bribery and theft of government property.

“The defendants arrested today are accused of betraying our country, actively working to weaken America’s defense capabilities and empowering our adversaries in China,” said Attorney General Pamela J. Bondi. “They will face swift, severe, and comprehensive justice.”

“While bribery and corruption have thrived under China’s Communist Party, this behavior cannot be tolerated with our service members who are entrusted with sensitive military information, including national defense information,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “The FBI and our partners will continue to work to uncover attempts by those in China to steal sensitive U.S. military information and hold all accountable who play a role in betraying our national defense. The FBI would like to thank U.S. Army Counterintelligence for their close partnership during this investigation.”

  1. Whose dumbass idea was it to let these 3 Chinese soldiers into our military. I’d say that the Army has big chink in their armor with this one. These 3 chinks and who ever enlisted them need to be sent to Ft. Leavenworth for life at hard labor breaking large rocks into small rocks or better yet executed for treason.

  2. Being military soldiers were involved this is definitely a FIRING SQUAD situation. It needs to take place a day after the trials / convictions / sentencing and court-martials.

  3. I hate all the headlines. They keep libeling U.S. Army soldiers. They should say something like “Three Chinese Spies Caught Who Joined U.S. Army”.

    Media never fails to highlight that it’s “bad” soldiers or Marines or other military. Even if they have to add “former”. Never one of their multiculti identifications. And a lot of the lowfo only read headlines.

  4. These guys didn’t convey near as much to China as Hillary did with her private server. Nevertheless, there needs to be swift, substantial and public punishment for this.

  5. So, when we heard about illegal aliens (including Chinese nationals) who crossed over the border who were “military aged men”, we now know what the game was. Another Biden legacy.
