| The charges against Ji were part of a wider national security
| investigation that also led to the arrest and unprecedented
| extradition of his handler, Xu Yangjun, a senior intelligence
| officer in China's main spy agency.
|
| Xu, the first Chinese spy ever brought to the U.S. to face criminal
| prosecution, was convicted in federal court in Cincinnati last
| November of trying to steal trade secrets from military contractor
| GE Aviation. He is scheduled to be sentenced later this year.
|
| The charges against Ji alleged that he was targeted by agents with
| the MSS in China shortly before coming to Chicago in 2013 to study
| electrical engineering at IIT, a small private school just east of
| the Dan Ryan Expressway that had forged educational ties with
| Chinese universities and colleges.

Recall Todd Lighty's article from 2019: <URL:https://www.chicagotribune.com/investigations/ct-chinese-espionage-chicago-20190926-xh74yrhorzakjpsnojyx4aapfm-story.html>
| Ji fit the bill.
|
| He arrived in August 2013 to study electrical engineering at the
| Illinois Institute of Technology, which had forged educational ties
| with Chinese universities and colleges, as well as other schools
| overseas. About 42% of IIT's students are from overseas, according
| to school spokeswoman Mary Owen-Thomas. She declined to say how many
| were from China.
