Nirmala Huang was sentenced on charges that include attempting to overthrow the current regime and conspiring with a foreign power. According to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice, she’s awaiting sentencing in federal court in New York City for her role as a government subcontractor for China’s government-owned National Defense University. The statement suggests that she and Wang Yang are still fugitives and are only getting closer to the United States.

According to court records obtained by CNN, the charges against Huang include creating and running a large network of computers in New Jersey that were used for transferring intelligence. Also, she is alleged to have used her position as a subcontractor for one company that was engaged in “exfiltration” operations, essentially, taking classified information out of the United States and passing it on the black market.

“We take this matter seriously, and we will cooperate fully with the government,” a Chinese Embassy spokesman said in February 2015 when asked what kind of cooperation it was willing, or could, provide. “We respect the sovereignty of all countries.”

We’ve looked at how the U.S. government tries to get back into Chinese soil, and that’s the thing we found particularly interesting: For years, the US has tried to extradite anyone it can claim is working for the Chinese government or the Chinese army. And as we have written before, it’s become a common occurrence in which U.S. officials file false charges in an attempt to get it back. This case, though, is one of the most interesting, because, since the day of the arrest, Wang Yang has been detained in the Philippines and is facing a potentially long period of imprisonment for alleged espionage and other corruption charges.

The Department of Justice first made news back in 2014, when Wang’s father was detained in Thailand for a long time until then, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made the announcement, and a court later sentenced him to 13 years. The case was also a precursor to the arrest of Li Hongzhi, the Chinese national whom the Pentagon announced in June, 2015, was part of a Chinese spy ring that had penetrated the U.S. military by stealing classified information and planning to “provide that stolen information to a hostile foreign power.”

So, it’s not an isolated incident, and since 2014, China has been working on extraditing American officials, including former senior military officers, along with other officials
