I have been living in the U.S. for almost 30 years. My career is here. My friends are here. This is my country,” he said.The feds say that as a result of the Chi Mak investigation, they broke up another Chinese spy ring. A Chinese immigrant named Dongfan “Greg” Chung was arrested in in February of 2008 for allegedly providing the Chinese with stolen US trade secrets, among them space shuttle information and details of the Delta IV rocket.
