UNITED STATESChinese spies caught red-handed Chi Mak, a naturalized U.S. citizen from China, was arrested Nov. 4 along with his brother, Tai Wang Mak, a broadcast and engineering director for the Phoenix North American Chinese Channel and their respective wives, Rebecca Laiwah Chiu and Fuk Heung Li. The four face charges of stealing government property, aiding and abetting, transportation of stolen goods and conspiracy. Chi Mak allegedly took computer disks from California defense contractor Power Paragon, where he was lead engineer on a sensitive research project involving propulsion systems for Navy warships, according to an FBI affidavit. He also allegedly e-mailed photos and reports about the project to his home computer. Authorities say Chi Mak and his wife copied the information onto CDs and delivered them to Tai Wang Mak, who had been scheduled to fly to Hong Kong on Oct. 28 with his wife. From there, Tai Wang Mak allegedly planned to travel to Guangzhou in China to meet a contact.
