A Chinese engineer was charged in San Jose with stealing trade secrets from a Silicon Valley company that made military training software. The man, Xiaodong Sheldon Meng, 42, who has Canadian citizenship, was indicted on 36 felony counts, including the rare charge of economic espionage to benefit a foreign government. Prosecutors say Mr. Xiaodong stole the code for software made by the company, Quantum3D Inc., that is used to train military fighter pilots, and tried to sell it to the Royal Thai Air Force, the Royal Malaysian Air Force and a company with ties to China’s military.
