More on Chinese spies.

In this post, I noted the three different espionage cases that have been revealed indicating a massive, successful effort by Chinese to steal huge amounts of bleeding edge military technology. Aegis Class warships, B-2 stealth technology, Nuclear Sub and missile technology.

Add these to the list. Bill Gertz (Wash Times)

Mr. Chi, an electrical engineer, also had access to details on U.S. aircraft carriers and once was aboard the USS Stennis. A Pentagon report made public earlier this year said China's military is building up capabilities to attack U.S. aircraft carriers.

China also is thought to have obtained information from the spy ring that will assist Chinese military development of electromagnetic pulse weapons -- weapons that simulate the electronic shock caused by a nuclear blast -- that disrupt electronics.

It also is thought to have obtained unmanned aerial vehicle technology from the spy ring.

And AP:

Though it's not alleged in the indictment, prosecutors previously said authorities recovered restricted documents on the DDX Destroyer - known as the "destroyer of the future"

I mean, jesus christ. What surprises are they going to have in store for us if we try to place our navy and air force between them and Taiwan?

Update: I hadn't yet made the connection that all of these arrests are coming in the week before Bush headed to China.
