A US Army soldier and intelligence analyst has pleaded guilty to all charges of disclosing the country’s national defence information to China. “The defendant abused his access to restricted government systems to sell sensitive military information to a person he knew to be a foreign national,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division.

US soldier Korbein Schultz has been accused of exporting technical data related to defence articles without a license, conspiracy to export defence articles without a license, and bribery of a public official.
