The U.S. Department of Justice released a press statement stating that a software engineer at a suburban Chicago locomotive manufacturer stole proprietary information from the company and took it to China, according to an indictment unsealed this week in federal court in Chicago. Xudong Yao, also known as “William Yao,” 57, is charged with nine counts of theft of trade secrets. Yao is currently at large and believed to be residing in China. According to MOJ, theft of trade secrets is punishable by a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. AIT Director Brent Christensen said in a June 18 speech at the Forum on Deepening Economic Ties in the Indo-Pacific that “the United States has serious concerns about China’s market-distorting subsidies, theft of intellectual property, and lack of market-oriented approach.” The tweet of MOJ: https://twitter.com/TheJusticeDe…/status/1149336735656099840
