Xuehua Peng, also known as Edward Peng, was taken into custody on Friday in Hayward, California, and was denied bail during an initial court appearance before a U.S. magistrate judge that same day, federal prosecutors said at a Monday morning news conference. “Defendant Xuehua Peng is charged with executing dead drops, delivering payments, and personally carrying to Beijing, China, secure digital cards containing classified information related to the national security of the United States,” Anderson said.
He then allegedly traveled to Beijing with those cards to deliver them to his handlers in the Chinese government, according to the criminal complaint.
