Former U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot accused of conspiracy for training Chinese military pilots

A former U.S. military pilot has been accused by the United States of conspiracy and breaking an arms control law by training Chinese military pilots to land on aircraft carriers, according to an unsealed indictment.  

Daniel Edmund Duggan, an Australian citizen, "provided training to PRC (People's Republic of China) military pilots" at a South Africa-based flight academy on at least three occasions between 2010 and 2012, according to the 2017 indictment unsealed by a court in Washington last week.

Duggan was arrested in Australia in October, the same week Britain and Australia issued unusually candid warnings about China's attempts to recruit retired military pilots.
