German authorities arrested two men and a woman suspected of working for Chinese state security to acquire details of ship-engine technology and buy a special laser without export authorization.
It’s the second espionage case to come to light in Germany in a matter of days after two Russian-German citizens were taken into custody last week accused of spying for Russia and membership of a terror group planning acts of sabotage.
