Six Chinese nationals charged with stealing US trade secrets

The United States has charged six Chinese nationals with the theft of mobile phone technology. Three of the six are university professors in China, and only one suspect has been arrested while the rest are believed to still be in China. The group stole FBAR technology which is used to block unwanted signal from mobile phones. They then set up a company in order to manufacture and sell the stolen technology. Chinese espionage has long been a concern in Washington, and according to the U.S. Justice Department this specific scheme was started more than a decade ago.
