Whoa!

Haitao Xiang, a #China National who worked as an Imaging Scientist for #Monsanto and its subsidiary, The Climate Corporation, was indicted for economic espionage.
He was also charged with trade secret theft and conspiracy to steal trade secrets, so there were more people involved. Probably the CCP/China.
Monsanto and the Climate Corporation created software used by farmers to help them with agricultural data & improve productivity. They used a porporitary algorithm called “Nutrient Optimizer” which was part of their IP and a very valuable trade secret.
Ughh, wtf. It should say “proprietary” above!
And of course, Xiang was part of CCP/#China’s Thousand Talents Program where they send their brightest to other countries to steal IP & trade secrets under guise of education.

After he stole the info he needed, he bought a one way ticker to China, but was arrested at airport.
