Brian Dowling in the Hartford Courant reported the arrest of a Chinese citizen with US residency:
"Yu Long, 36, attempted to bring to China defense documents labeled with warnings against copying them or taking them outside the country."[ Former UTC Scientist Charged With Trying To Take Sensitive Files To China, December 9, 2014 ]
