Instead of desperately distracting attention from the NSA's espionage by accusing China, the US should seek cooperation

The US Department of Justice is seeking the extradition of a Chinese businessman living in Canada to prosecute him for allegedly stealing sensitive information from US defense contractors. This indicates the United States administration is again trying to shift attention away from its own global spying.

On June 27, the US department accused the 39-year-old Su Bin of working with two co-conspirators in China between 2009 and 2013 to hack into the computer systems of US companies and steal data on military projects, including Boeing's C-17 strategic transport aircraft and the Pentagon's advanced fighter jets F-22 and F-35, built by Lockheed Martin Corp. Canadian police detained Su the next day in British Columbia, where he remains in custody.
