Yuance Chen, 38, and Liren Lai, 39, face charges of acting as agents of the Chinese government and a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted, the department said.
According to a criminal complaint, Chen and Lai carried out a number of intelligence activities in the United States on behalf of China’s Ministry of State Security.
“This case underscores the Chinese government’s sustained and aggressive effort to infiltrate our military and undermine our national security from within,“ Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement.

“We will also take necessary measures to safeguard the lawful rights and interests of Chinese citizens”, foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said.
