According to court documents, Su Bin also known as Stephen Su locally, is a wealthy businessman.
According to prosecutors, the hacking took place between October 2008 and March 2014.
The Chinese government has denied any connection to Sus case.
In the meanwhile, Su is being lauded as patriotic in his home country.
If Su was wronged and forced to plead guilty, he should have our sympathy.
But it also questioned whether the plea agreement revealed the truth of the matter.
Every country is gathering intelligence.
The largest and most well-known information-collecting agencies are the CIA and FBI in the US.
The FBI has even listed China as their top target.
In most cases, governments wont acknowledge these spies after they have been caught.
Su represents the first person successfully prosecuted by the US for stealing state secrets through hacking.
Last year, the US indicted five Chinese military officers on charges of cyber spying.
