A grand jury indictment filed on Tuesday alleges that Chi Mak, a lead engineer for Anaheim defense contractor Power Paragon, took computer disks containing sensitive information pertaining to several U.S. Navy projects and conspired with members of his family to smuggle the information to China.
Chi Mak, 65, his wife, and his brother, all Chinese-American immigrants, were indicted on Tuesday and charged with operating as agents of a foreign government without prior notification to the U.S. attorney general.

Question:
Another extremely nice RPG has been released. Do you think this RPG will have any effect in Final Fantasy or any other massive role playing game sales? Enan Hawk
So it's all sweet as long as I tell your attorney general. Geez the guy should've just fessed up in the first place.
Since all this falls under the blanket of "National Security" I take the whole report with a grain of salt. I'll consider believing that Chi Mak is a spy right after Bush & Co. find those WMDs they said they were looking for. Yep, those darn WMDs are really hard to find, aren't they. But, with the friendly Jihadists willing to blow themselves up to help the american GI's look for WMDs, it won't be long. Yep, any decade now.
I think they need better hiring practices for one thing. If you are going to hire someone that is handling sensitive data that is from another country, you probably want to make sure they are integrated into the society of your country. Of course, that doesn't preclude them from doing harm but it reduces the likelyhood. This weeding out process could be accomplished through interviews with friends, colleagues, family.
Mak got caught. Simple as that.

shihchiun, they were caught red handed, regardless of what the books say.
rm20010, by commiting treason they were knowingly and willingly endangering the lives of all Americans, which is similar to attempted mass homocide but far more severe.
Quick Reply, tell that to the communists, who ordered Tienamen square, who recently slaughtered an entire village in China because they converted to Catholicism, who are building up their military to fight a foe that according to them does not exist (i.e. they plan to fight the free people of the world, so that they can gradually enslave millions like the Soviet Union before them), who send tens of millions of children to forced labor camps where they do manual labor over a dozen hours a day under the hot sun, who authorized the use of physical punishment in their school system (i.e. the guys get kicked between the legs when they misbehave; I don't know what happens to the girls, my cousin in China didn't tell me when I was visiting) and so on and so forth (do you really need more information? I could provide it if you want, the list of attrocities commited in China and aggressive behavior committed by China grows longer as the days pass by). My father emigrated here from China, and I can tell you, that anyone willing to sell out this great country to those monsters, doesn't deserve to live.
Then why have you not yet hung your President? Who has commited treason by releasing a CIA Agents name, and endangering the American public by releasing classified infomation such as that?
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
Additionally, under your argument we would have to hang the majoirty of the media for reporting military strategy/positioning in Iraq. I just think it's much more complicated an issue.
He was singled out for racial profiling..
I swear, everytime this forum has news from asia or mentions asians, nothing but stupid stereotypes.

Seriously, it isn't so much about the people, but it's their government. They make news every time their government keeps the behaviour of the public under control, i.e. censorship of the Internet. It's just that too many people here think communism = pure evil, end of story, no ifs ands or buts, thank God for the USA.

If you consider that as stereotypes, you have no idea what I can stereotype my own race as Asian/Pacific Islander. Those Chinese theives should be punished to the extreme if proven guilty. They should not even come to United States in the first place if they have any intention to betray US in the first place.
And exactly, what is Chinese government trying to pull here? I never set my foot on the Chinese mainland, and I doubt I will for a long long time.. god knows if I get prisoned by those red army for no reason eh? That's right, red army can arrest people whenever they like. That's China. Think that's stereotype? Think again.
Ofcourse, they could still take him to a remote eastern european country to beat some information out of him.
However, there are debates out there on whether or not Asians are smarter due to genetics.
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-04/cdri-bai042505.php
Nonetheless, EQ is more important than IQ. Even if Asian has higher IQ than most races, EQ is probably Asian's worst form of weakness. Why else Asian parents prefer spanking with bamboo sticks or broom stick as punishment to their little children? I know that cuz I had been through that. Finally, among Asian people, they love to compete with each other just about anything. Obviously, someone gets jealous..and they will try to sabotage you whenever they can. You can feel that more directly if you live in island of Taiwan for like 5 years.
I wonder who it will be next week?
Don't you just love propaganda.
It's easier to call us Chink Geeks.
1) The Chinese people were leeking information about America in plans to attack America
2) The American people are planning to attack China and the Chinese People were leeking information of their plans to help save China.
I rekon;
If people arnt meant to know what that country is doing, than that country shouldnt be doing it.
Pick your one.

Neither China nor the US plan to attack each other. China wants to increase it's technological standing. All countries want this. China just happens to be in a unique position because it has a lot of skilled Chinese nationals working in high level scientific positions in the US.
If anything, China wants to attack Taiwan. I don't see that happening though. China's economy is heavily tied to western economies and especially the US. If China were to attack Taiwan, tariffs (BIG tariffs) on Chinese goods would be instated. The US government would also likely stop companies from outsourcing production to China. China's economy and perhaps even the US economy would collapse. It's a gamble that I don't think China is willing to make. The guys in charge in China aren't that stupid.

Most likely an embargo from western countries would be discussed. However, the western economies might also suffer from this in the short term, so they might just apply tariffs.
There is no need for that here or anywhere else on Neowin.
Consider this a final collective warning.
oh yeah, cia and fbi and nsa are doing innocent things for the usa.

They should make him move sand from the bottom of a pile to the top all day long for the rest of his life
Calm down everyone *massages temple* Ah... see? Much better.
all big countries have spies in other countries.
thats a fact.
so people need to stop discrimiating against chinese people.
As well as just plain racist comments (*cough* Colonel_Angus *cough*)
Senior Chinese military leaders have threatened use of thermonuclear weapons on the continental US, most recently this year. Thanks to Lockheed they now have a missile that can strike targets from as far away as 12000 km. (i.e., the east coast of the US). When American cities get incinerated in nuclear fireballs, I'm sure that Lockheed officials will cry out that they provided only satellite launcher technology for civilian use to the Chinese!
