    Chinese spy pleads guilty in US : News24: World: News

    Huang admitted that, despite signing a confidentiality agreement, he passed numerous secrets about Dow's products to others doing research in Germany and China, according to his plea agreement filed in federal court in Indiana.

    He also received grant money from the Chinese government to further his own research at a government-backed university, Hunan Normal University, as well as published articles about his work based on information from Dow, the agreement said.

    Sensitive information

    He admitted he was trying to develop and produce the pesticides in China to compete against his former employer Dow, including identifying manufacturing facilities, according to the plea agreement filed in federal court.

    After leaving Dow to work for Cargill, Huang also admitted he stole details about a key enzyme used to make a new food product at that company, prosecutors said.

    He sent that sensitive information to a student at the Chinese government-backed university, they said.
