A Chinese-born software engineer convicted of stealing trade secrets from Motorola was sentenced to four years in federal prison, according to the office of the U.S. Attorney in Chicago. Hanjuan Jin, a 41-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, was arrested in 2007 at O'Hare Airport in Chicago as she prepared to board a flight to China with a one-way ticket and more than 1,000 Motorola documents in her possession. As they built their case against Jin, prosecutors alleged she was a part of a much broader Chinese-run industrial spying effort that posed a threat to the country's economic prosperity. They alleged that Jin, who worked for Motorola for nine years, intended to share the information with Sun Kaisens, a Chinese telecommunications company and supplier to the Chinese military.
