Chinese national sold weapons to North Korea: Feds
 
An undocumented Chinese national living in the U.S. has been charged with procuring and shipping guns, ammunition and electronics to North Korea, according to federal prosecutors.

Prosecutors say Shenghua Wen was allegedly moving items to North Korea by concealing them in shipping containers from Long Beach, California, through Hong Kong and then to North Korea.
 
He was arrested on Tuesday morning at his home in Ontario, California, and ordered to be held without bond. His arraignment has been scheduled for Jan. 7, 2025.

In a briefing Tuesday, prosecutors allege Wen was helping North Korea obtain goods for a surprise attack on South Korea.

Federal agents in August seized two devices from Wen's home that he had allegedly planned to send to North Korea for its military use -- a chemical threat identification device and a handheld broadband receiver, according to a criminal complaint.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Unless the goal is to reverse engineer them.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
