Chenguang Gong accepted guilt for stealing classified military technology from his California employer. The 59-year-old dual citizen transferred over 3,600 sensitive files to personal devices during his brief 2023 employment. Federal prosecutors charged him with trade secret theft after he copied blueprints for advanced infrared sensors. These systems help detect nuclear missiles and track hypersonic weapons for the United States military. Gong removed the files between March and April while working as a circuit design manager.

The stolen materials contained proprietary missile detection designs worth approximately $3.5 million. Authorities discovered Gong had repeatedly applied for Chinese government recruitment programs from 2014 through 2022. He proposed developing military radar systems and night vision technology for these foreign initiatives. Court records show he traveled to China seeking project funding while employed by American defense companies. Gong will receive his sentence on September 29 and could face ten years imprisonment.
