A Justice Department press release today tell us more than the Chinese ever want us to know about how they steal our technology: Weiqiang Zhang, 51, a Chinese national, and U.S. legal permanent resident residing in Manhattan, Kansas, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Carlos Murguia in the District of Kansas. Zhang was convicted on Feb. 15, 2017 of one count of conspiracy to steal trade secrets, one count of conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property and one count of interstate transportation of stolen property.
He was stealing engineered rice in Kansas. Justice has already prosecuted a Chinese National for stealing seed corn in Iowa. The new thieves are US Nationals who were Chinese when they came here and never left the country loyalty.
