Chinese Economic Espionage

Woman accused of spying for China at Motorola

A Chinese spy was caught “red-handed,” according to federal authorities, as she was about to board a plane at O’Hare bound for Beijing.

Hanjuan Jin says she worked as a computer engineer for Schaumburg-based Motorola, a global leader in communications technology.

Federal agents say Jin was also working as a spy for a Chinese company, and she has been charged in a corporate espionage case that reflects a growing national security problem.

  • She downloaded hundreds of confidential documents valued at $600 million from Motorola’s internal network.
  • Arrived at O’Hare Airport with a one-way ticket to Beijing.
  • She was really carrying $30,000.00
  • A routine check of passengers revealed she was carrying the cash and a laptop computer with more than 30 compact data storage devices containing stolen Motorola files.
