A Chinese researcher at the University of California at Los Angeles was charged with destroying evidence after he allegedly damaged a computer hard drive beyond repair and threw it in a dumpster days after he had been stopped from leaving the U.S.
Guan Lei, 29, is under investigation for possibly transferring sensitive U.S. software or technical data to China’s National University of Defense Technology and falsely denying his association with the Chinese military when he applied for a visa in 2018, according to a statement Friday from the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles.
