Two Chinese were imprisoned in America for "espionage". According to Washington, two Chinese nationals have been sentenced to prison after admitting to trying to recruit US military personnel to spy for Beijing. The US Department of Justice announced that 40-year-old Liran Lai and 39-year-old Ivans Chen were each sentenced to 30 months in prison and three years of supervised release. According to this office, these two Chinese nationals intended to use the "dead drop" method to exchange sums of cash in exchange for receiving information related to US national security. US Assistant Attorney General for National Security Affairs, John E. Eisenberg said the two men were running a "long-term," "comprehensive" and "bold" plan to undermine U.S. national security and support China's intelligence and recruitment operations on U.S. soil.
