Chinese man charged with US aviation ‘espionage’

The US justice department has announced charges of economic espionage against a suspected Chinese intelligence officer.

Officials say Yanjun Xu tried to steal trade secrets from US aviation and aerospace companies on behalf of China.

Aircraft Ohio-based engine giant GE Aviation was identified as one of the targets of the alleged operation.

He was arrested in Belgium earlier this year and on Tuesday extradited to the US.
