Espionage


This article tells a disturbing story of how there are foreign spies giving information to countries that we are not friendly with. The man that is currently being charged is Chi Mak. He was working as an electrical engineer for the US navy. At the same time he was sending vast amounts of information to the Chinese government. He was not alone and there are four other s that are also being charged with Chi Mak. He was giving away the secrets to a new type of stealth technology that the navy was working on developing.

This reminds me of the famous Rosenbergs’ who gave away vital nuclear secrets to the soviets. The odd thing is that the people who committed both of these crimes were American citizens at the time that they did them. It really makes you think of how a person who has live a large portion or even all of their life in America, and yet, still finds a way to hate it enough to give secrets away to other countries.
