According to court documents, Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, 26, aka Thomas Zhao, of Monterey Park, California, received at least $14,866 in at least 14 separate bribe payments from an intelligence officer of the People’s Republic of China to secretly collect and transmit to the intelligence officer information regarding U.S. Navy operational security, military trainings and exercises, and critical infrastructure. Zhao entered restricted military and naval installations to collect and record this information.
He used sophisticated encrypted communication methods to transmit the information. He also destroyed evidence and concealed his relationship with the intelligence officer. He sent the intelligence officer operational plans for a large-scale U.S. military exercise in the Indo-Pacific Region, detailing the specific location and timing of naval movements, amphibious landings, maritime operations and logistics support, and photographs of electrical diagrams and blueprints for a radar system stationed on a U.S. military base in Okinawa, Japan.
Prosecutors contend Zhao obtained and transmitted details about the Navy’s operational security at the Naval Base in Ventura County and on San Clemente Island, including photographs and videos.
The damage here in the event of a war could have been and could still be catastrophic
And for that he gets two years. And a fine that’s about a third of the money he got for his treason. People have gotten more than this for petty crimes.
Comment:
He committed treason but wasn’t charged with treason. Why not? Others who committed treason have been punished with life imprisonment and some with execution. In this case, a huge concession was made - to Communist China. Why?
Why if not because China owns “President” Biden?
