Former Apple Engineer Charged with Stealing Trade Secrets for China

The US has charged a former Apple engineer, Weibao Wang, with stealing the company's technology on autonomous systems, including self-driving cars, and then fleeing to China. The Department of Justice announced charges in that case and several others involving the alleged theft of trade secrets and efforts to steal technology to benefit China, Russia, and Iran. Two of the cases involved what US officials called procurement networks created to help Russia's military and intelligence services obtain sensitive technology. Wang and another defendant remain at large in China, while the other four defendants were arrested.
