A federal court in San Francisco has charged two Chinese nationals with espionage, accusing them of working on behalf of the Chinese government to gather intelligence on U.S. military capabilities, prosecutors said.
Yuance Chen, 38, and Liren "Ryan" Lai, 39, were arrested on allegations of acting as unregistered foreign agents in violation of a federal law that requires individuals working on behalf of foreign governments to register with the U.S. Department of Justice.
