A Chinese American man, Gong Chenguang, was <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/bay-area-man-sentenced-nearly-4-years-prison-stealing-trade-secret-technology-designed">sentenced</a> on Nov. 17 to 46 months in prison for stealing U.S. military trade secrets for the benefit of the Chinese communist regime.

Gong had worked at a Los Angeles-area research and development company where he transferred more than 3,600 files to personal storage devices.

They included technologies developed for the U.S. government to detect nuclear missile launches, track ballistic and hypersonic missiles, enable U.S. fighter planes to detect and evade heat-seeking missiles, and provide so-called next-generation sensors for use in space.

According to the Justice Department (DOJ), many files were <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/engineer-pleads-guilty-stealing-chinese-governments-benefit-trade-secret-technology-designed" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">marked</a> “proprietary information” or “export controlled.” The estimated economic loss from this activity exceeds $3.5 million, according to Gong’s plea agreement.

Gong <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/chinese-american-pleads-guilty-to-stealing-us-missile-detection-technology-for-china-5890673">pleaded guilty</a> to one count of trade secret theft in July.

The theft of the 3,600 files <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">occurred between March 30, 2023, and April 26, 2023, while Gong worked at HRL Laboratories, where he <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/chinese-american-who-allegedly-stole-us-missile-detection-technology-was-part-of-ccps-thousand-talents-plan-5599646" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resigned</a> after only </span>three months. The short tenure was suspicious and prompted HRL to investigate. Its security division found Gong’s file transfers and notified the FBI.

According to the DOJ, Gong had dual U.S. and Chinese citizenship. Gong previously told The Epoch Times he had only U.S. citizenship, which he obtained in 2011.

Prosecutors argued Gong’s behavior was deliberate and systemic, pointing to his long history of stealing U.S. technology trade secrets for the benefit of the Chinese military industrial complex.
<h2>Beijing’s ‘Thousand Talents’ Plan</h2>
Between 2014 and 2022, Gong submitted multiple applications to the Chinese communist regime’s “Thousand Talents” <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/chinese-american-who-allegedly-stole-us-missile-detection-technology-was-part-of-ccps-thousand-talents-plan-5599646">program</a>, according to law enforcement. The program was launched in 2008 to <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/china-uses-love-of-the-motherland-and-plenty-of-cash-to-recruit-tech-talent-from-abroad-2388814">recruit</a> talent from primarily STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields with lucrative grants or choice employment, and has come under scrutiny by intelligence agencies in the West.

Gong’s name <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/chinese-american-who-allegedly-stole-us-missile-detection-technology-was-part-of-ccps-thousand-talents-plan-5599646">appeared</a> on the list of “young talents” issued by the Task Force Office of Overseas High-Level Talent Recruitment Programs under the Chinese regime’s Organization Department of the Central Committee in 2016.

Gong was employed at Texas Instruments from 2010 to May 2014. In 2014, he sent a business proposal based on the technology produced by his Dallas employer to a Chinese tech company working on dual-use products.

Gong sent another proposal in 2020 to develop “low light/night vision” image sensors and included the model number of a sensor developed by international defense company BAE Systems, where Gong worked from May 2015 to October 2019, the DOJ said.

According to the DOJ, Gong also travelled to China several times as part of the Thousand Talents program to seek funding for his proposals. In one email, Gong noted he worked for “an American military industry company” and was taking a “risk” by traveling to China to contribute to its “high-end military integrated circuits.”
