A former Apple Inc. engineer was arrested on charges of stealing driverless car secrets for a Chinese startup after he passed through the security checkpoint at San Jose International Airport to board a flight to China.
Xiaolang Zhang was accused by U.S. prosecutors of downloading files containing proprietary information as he prepared to leave the iPhone maker in April and start work for Guangzhou-based Xiaopeng Motors. according to a criminal complaint filed Monday in federal court in San Jose, California.
A hardware engineer for Apple’s autonomous vehicle development team, Zhang was granted access to confidential company databases, according to the complaint. After he took paternity leave he told Apple in April he was moving back to China to work at Xmotors. Apple grew more suspicious after seeing his increased network activity and visits to the office before he resigned, according to the complaint.

DUH!! Keep allowing these illegal aliens into our country. They are all spies.
Keep hiring these illegal aliens and expect some more espionage.
Americans, white people, are the dumbest people I have ever seen.
Soooo white people are responsible for an Asian man stealing info for his personal gain and employment? Should it also be expected that if an American traveled abroad that it should be assumed the host country will treat them like spies? Or!! Did you just want the opportunity to make your attempt at insult?
