At a time when the U.S. remains vigilant to protect its national security, two sailors are facing serious accusations of selling sensitive military information to Chinese intelligence officials.
What makes this case significant is the amount of information that is alleged to have been shared with Chinese intelligence officials, according to Barthel.
“It endangers military personnel, government contractors, federal civilian employees who work on these installations, as well as dependents of service members who also live and work on these installations,” he said.“For Petty Officer Zhao, he’s looking at a total 20 years confinement, and then machinist made Wei, he’s looking at potentially life in prison, any amount of years – up to life in prison.
Barthel said the U.S. Navy will have to re-evaluate who has access to sensitive information and make changes to its systems. Barthel said they will not be charged in military court because both courts are on the federal level and it’s standard practice for them to defer to the federal authorities to prosecute cases. However, he said it’s very likely the military will take administrative action against both individuals.
