Former Air Force officer arrested for conspiring with hacker to provide flight training to Chinese military

U.S. prosecutors arrested a decorated former U.S. Air Force major who allegedly negotiated and provided combat aircraft training to the Chinese military after collaborating with Stephen Su Bin, a convicted hacker who previously breached U.S. defense contractors (including stealing Boeing C-17 files). Authorities say the activities violated U.S. export-control laws and involved unauthorized transfer of sensitive military expertise and data to PRC officials, posing national security concerns.
