R. Scott Moxley, OC Weekly, April 11, 2014
A Chinese national locked in federal custody without bail in Southern California since his December arrest after attempting to transfer restricted military technology to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) confessed this month.
Exactly what Jian Dai (a.k.a. “Michael Tan”) admitted isn’t known because U.S. Department of Justice officials sealed huge portions of the case, including the terms of Dai’s April 4 guilty plea.
According to one government document that is public, Dia repeatedly tried in 2013 to ship to the PRC “a TGA2517 power amplifying integrated chip, which is a ’16 Watt X Band Power Amplifier’ used in, among other things, applications for space and military communication jamming capabilities.”
