CHINA-US: FORMER CIA OFFICER INDICTED FOR SPYING FOR CHINA

Jerry Chun Shing Lee, 53,  a former C.I.A. officer suspected of helping China unravel the agency’s spy network in China was indicted on May 8 on a charge of conspiring to commit espionage. He was arrested by F.B.I. agents in January after federal prosecutors accused him of illegally possessing classified information. According to prosecutors, two Chinese intelligence officers approached Lee in April 2010 and offered to pay him for information. They “provided Lee with a series of email addresses so that he could communicate covertly with them” court papers said, and he received instructions from Chinese intelligence officers until at least 2011.  Lee joined the C.I.A. in 1994 and left in 2007, moving his family to Hong Kong.
