Another Chinese espionage charge was dropped

Another ongoing case against a Chinese researcher just had its original charge dropped.  The new charges were "computer fraud" and "lying to a federal agent". Yes, we hear it right, lying to a federal agent again, a popular last-resort/catch-all charge to inexperienced or often innocent suspects. A real spy should have known much better: use your rights of keeping silent and never ever talk to police/federal agent. If you still have any double, watch a Law school professor and former criminal defense attorney's Youtube Clip.

This does not really matter. The zealot media coverage about Chinese espionage was done. The propaganda of "Chinese spy" was successful. The public got the information they like to see. Only innocent yellow-skinned people suffer, which nobody can care less. Tax dollars and federal resources are being wasted. You may wonder who will win in the end, except for some people with hidden agendas. Everybody else loses, Yellow, White, and Black. Why cannot America learn something from Wen Ho Lee's case!?

2 new indictments for man accused of stealing Wisconsin cancer drug, data to study in China

 

By Associated Press, Published: April 11

MILWAUKEE — A researcher accused of stealing a possible cancer-fighting compound from the Medical College of Wisconsin has been indicted on two counts.

Online court records say 42-year-old Hua Jun Zhao was indicted Tuesday on charges of computer fraud and lying to a federal agent. A previous charge of economic espionage was superseded by the indictment, meaning it no longer applies unless he’s indicted on that charge as well.

Zhao is accused of stealing three vials of the compound along with academic research that he is accused of planning to pass off as his own. Prosecutors say also he tried to delete research from the school’s servers.

He’ll be arraigned Thursday afternoon in Milwaukee. Public defender Juval Scott says she’ll enter not-guilty pleas on his behalf to the fraud and lying charges.
