The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported (September 8, 2014) that Jun Xie, 41, a “Chinese engineer who worked in Waukesha for a subsidiary of GE Healthcare stole about 2.4 million files of trade secrets and other confidential company information and sent it to China, according to GE and the FBI.” It said that Jun Xie, “who joined the medical equipment giant in 2008, had been suspended and hit with a civil suit by the company in July,” and just as that action appeared to have closed "he was charged in federal court with criminal theft of trade secrets and appeared in court.” The case “is at least the second involving theft of sensitive technical data by a Chinese citizen working in the Milwaukee area.”
