#1 Woah! Lets see here....

I bet she only gets 1 year because she is turning on her former associates...so...

1 Year in Prison and be paid 1.5 million dollars (less 100K means 1.4 Mil).

Plus what she was paid by the U.S. Government while she was spying....

And they say crime doesn't pay.

#2 Prosecutors say they will ask for a reduced sentence because Gao has been working with the U.S. government to identify people in the Chinese government who are seeking to import sensitive American goods.

And then what? Is the A.G. going to try to arrest these schmucks and put them on trial? Is the U.S. government going to refuse to do business with these individuals?

Seems to me that the Commerce Dept. (or whatever dept is in charge of technology exports) needs to wake up. China isn't just a "market", but is also a potential adversary.

#3 A Chinese national caught spying for the US by the Chinese counter-espionage service would have been shot. It's a real shame she's only getting 3 years.

#5 What's this?! A Chinese Espionage case that didn't involve American Intelligence agents dropping their pants - literally, that is. Figuratively speaking, this event fits the metaphor perfectly "getting caught with pants down, bent over...."

Then again, the woman looks kinda cute in the photos in my newspaper this morning...maybe there's a side to this that hasn't come to light yet.
