Ex-US Marine and 'Top Gun' pilot fights extradition for training Chinese military pilots

Former US Marine Daniel Duggan, accused of training Chinese military pilots, is fighting extradition to the US from Australia. Duggan denies the allegations, which include charges of money laundering and conspiracy to export US defense services. His lawyers are seeking a stay of extradition while claims of improper action by Australian intelligence agencies are investigated. The case comes amid heightened tensions between the US and China in the Indo-Pacific region. Duggan's supporters argue that he was simply a pilot trainer and that his actions were not illegal. The court is currently hearing arguments on whether a stay will be granted.
