Mr Zhao was a petty officer working at a California naval base.
He passed on information about military exercises, operational orders and critical infrastructure from 2021 to 2023 according to US officials.
Specifically, he provided information about the US Navy’s large-scale drills in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as electrical diagrams and blueprints for a radar system located at the US base on the Japanese island of Okinawa.
