| 2005-09-12 |
| China's government secretly tried to buy U.S. electronic equipment that would allow Beijing to intercept U.S. intelligence data sent to the ground by satellites, according to court papers in a spy case. A declassified FBI report from 1997, which authorities say was found in the possession of Chinese spying suspect Katrina Leung before her arrest in 2003, said two Chinese nationals were being sought by Chinese authorities for stealing $140 million intended for "a high-tech transfer/purchase of a most-up-to-date satellite retrieval systems technology manufactured by a U.S. firm." Report from 1997? Say, wasn't that other guy president back then? More at link |
