TL;DR Summary

Two U.S. Navy sailors, Jinchao Wei and Wenhen Zhao, have been arrested and charged with providing sensitive military information to China. Wei, assigned to the USS Essex, allegedly shared photographs, videos, technical manuals, and details about upcoming exercises with a Chinese intelligence officer. He was paid thousands of dollars for the information. Zhao is accused of sharing operational plans for a U.S. military exercise. The two sailors were charged separately, and it is unclear if they were connected or courted by the same Chinese intelligence officer.
