Quote:A former U.S. Navy sailor was sentenced to 30 months in prison for conspiring with her husband to illegally ship export-controlled sensitive military equipment to China for profit, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Dec. 21.

Ye Sang “Ivy” Wang, 37, a naturalized U.S. citizen from China, was a logistics specialist for the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command from 2015 to 2019, where her duties included making military equipment purchases, according to a DOJ press release.

The Naval Special Warfare Command—the naval component of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)—includes the Navy’s SEALS and Special Boat Teams.

Her husband, Shaohua “Eric” Wang, 38, also a naturalized U.S. citizen, enlisted his wife to “use her Navy position” to purchase military equipment for resale, according to the press release. He traveled to China frequently, had buyers in the country, and maintained a warehouse in China to house the military equipment.

In March 2018, she used her military email and her mailing address at the Navy command to order “a device for identifying United States military personnel in the field,” the DOJ stated.

When the device arrived at the Navy command, she was deployed in Iraq and told her command that what she ordered was something for her husband for a camping trip.

Upon her return from Iraq, in October 2018, she admitted to law enforcement agents that she knew her husband was shipping military equipment to China illegally.

Her husband continued to press her to make more purchases, even handing her an Excel spreadsheet of items that he would like her to buy. According to prosecutors, Ivy Wang got so “annoyed” at her husband that she “gave him her password to her military email and told him to buy the export-controlled military equipment posing as her” when she was deployed overseas.

“Ms. Wang betrayed her oath to the U.S. Navy and ultimately threatened the operational readiness and safety of our nation’s military by attempting to acquire and illegally export sensitive military equipment to China,” said Joshua Flowers, special agent in charge of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service’s Southwest Field Office, according to the press release.

In addition to her 30-month sentence, Ivy Wang was also fined $20,000. Her husband was sentenced to 46 months for his role in the scheme on Feb. 3 last year, according to the DOJ. The two are from San Diego.

According to a court document (pdf), Ivy Wang became the target of investigation when a special security officer in Navy command was alerted that she repeatedly tried to obtain a top security clearance. Her job already granted her a classified security clearance.

The officer was also alarmed to learn that she was compiling a list of the Navy command’s deployment personnel records, including names and addresses, according to the court document.

The court document also showed that one of the companies she reached out to was the U.S.-based Airborne Systems, a maker of military parachutes. It is unclear if she purchased anything from the company on behalf of her husband.

The Wangs are not the first Chinese nationals to have been accused of illegally exporting U.S. equipment and technology to China.

In November last year, a Chinese-American electrical engineer who worked for Raytheon Missiles and Defense was sentenced to 38 months in prison for violating U.S. export control law. The engineer traveled to China while bringing with him a company-issued computer containing information related to a missile guidance system.

Three months later, a Chinese researcher, who worked at the Ohio-based Research Institute at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital for 10 years, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for conspiring to steal U.S. trade secrets and sell them for profit in China.

In July, a Chinese national was sentenced to three-and-a-half years for attempting to illegally export maritime raiding craft and engines to China. According to the DOJ, the U.S. military uses the engines to launch vessels from submerged submarines or from aircraft into the ocean. China is incapable of manufacturing the same engines.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said in September 2020 that the bureau was opening one new Chinese counterintelligence investigation about every 10 hours. Wray also said that the bureau had more than 2,000 counterintelligence investigations related to China at that time.

Wow, only 30 months? I wonder how long one of us would have gotten? Some of the clowns that danced around the state houses on January 6 got more time than this. I guess no one really cares anymore about our safety or sovereignty.

How is this not treason?

Firing squad.

I wonder if the same punishment would have been doled out by the Chinese if they were citizens of China and would have got caught selling military equipment to the US?

LOL, the Chinese don't even try to hide their shenanigans...and what do the Americans do? Yes, for the sake of diversity we place these people in jobs with the government that has sensitive equipment. You don't really think these people weren't complicit with the Chinkers? If you don't you're part of the problem with your diversity crap and are probably mad because they got 40 months in jail when they should have been lined up against a wall.

The Chinkers are winning and we're helping, (change that to they're helping) and doing nothing about it. We've lost and it will come to blows eventually.
