Federal prosecutors accused a former CIA officer of selling sensitive defense secrets to the Chinese government over a decade in an espionage case revealed in Hawaii on Monday.
Alexander Yuk Ching Ma allegedly handed over information about the CIA's personnel and tradecraft to Chinese intelligence and was given tens of thousands of dollars in return.
A naturalized US citizen born in Hong Kong, Ma, 67, told an undercover FBI agent posing as a Chinese intelligence officer earlier this month that he wanted "the motherland" to succeed, according to court documents.
Senior officials called Ma a traitor.
Ma, who was arrested on Friday, is charged with conspiracy to communicate national defense information to aid a foreign government. He is scheduled to make an initial appearance in Hawaii federal court on Tuesday.
Much of the espionage he is accused of occurred several years ago. According to court documents, Ma, who served in the CIA from 1982 to 1989, began selling secrets in 2001 amid three days of meetings in a Hong Kong hotel room with five officials from Chinese intelligence services
Part of the meeting is captured on video, including a scene in which Ma is seen receiving and counting $50,000 in cash, according to prosecutors.
