Jersey-based division of a technology company with giving China 
sensitive military technical data, federal authorities said.

Sixing Liu, 47 -- also known as Steve Liu -- was a senior staff engineer 
at the company who helped work on precision navigation systems for the 
U.S. Department of Defense, federal authorities said. Liu was born in 
China, but is a legal U.S. resident who, until recently, lived in 
Flanders.

On Nov. 12, 2010, Liu flew from Newark to Shanghai. When he returned 
from Shanghai later that month, U.S. customs officers inspected his bags 
and found a non-work-issued computer later found to contain hundreds of 
documents relating to the technology company’s projects.

The company was not named in the federal criminal complaint.

Authorities also found images of Liu making a presentation to a 
technology conference that was reportedly organized by the Chinese 
government, federal authorities said. Although listed as a company 
representative on the conference’s website, authorities said, Liu never 
told his technology company about his travel or role in the conference.
