一 | LOS ANGELES -- A U.S. Navy sailor charged with providing sensitive military information to China pleaded guilty in Los Angeles on Tuesday to conspiring with a foreign intelligence officer and receiving a bribe, federal prosecutors said. Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, 26, originally pleaded not guilty when he was charged Aug. 4. The Justice Department alleges that Zhao, based at Naval Base Ventura County, north of Los Angeles, conspired to collect nearly $15,000 in bribes from a Chinese intelligence officer in exchange for information, photos and videos of involving Navy exercises, operations and facilities.The information included plans for a large-scale U.S. military exercise in the Indo-Pacific region, which detailed the location and timing of naval force movements, prosecutors said. The Chinese officer told Zhao the information was needed for maritime economic research to inform investment decisions, according to the indictment.Zhao, who also went by the name Thomas Zhao and held a U.S. security clearance, “admitted he engaged in a corrupt scheme to collect and transmit sensitive U.S. military information to the intelligence officer in violation of his official duties,” the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a news release Tuesday. Zhao, of Monterey Park, California, faces a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison. He has been in custody since his arrest on Aug. 3.Zhao was charged on the same day as another California-based Navy sailor who is accused of similar crimes. But they are separate cases, and federal officials haven't said if the two were courted or paid by the same Chinese intelligence officer as part of a larger scheme. Jinchao Wei, a 22-year-old assigned to the San Diego-based USS Essex, is charged with providing detailed information on the weapons systems and aircraft aboard the Essex and other amphibious assault ships that act as small aircraft carriers. He pleaded not guilty in federal court in San Diego. Last week, a former U.S. Army intelligence officer was charged in Seattle with attempting to provide classified defense information to the Chinese security services during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sgt. Joseph Daniel Schmidt, 29, was arrested Oct. 6 at San Francisco International Airport as he arrived from Hong Kong, where he had been living since March 2020, the Justice Department said. A federal grand jury returned an indictment charging him with retention and attempted delivery of national defense information. U.S. District Court records in Seattle did not yet list an attorney representing Schmidt on the charges, and neither the U.S. attorney’s office nor the federal public defender’s office had information about whether he had a lawyer.An FBI declaration filed in the case quoted Schmidt as telling his sister in an email that he left the U.S. because he disagreed with unspecified aspects of American policy.。 8月25日消息,想必不少人日常通勤出行都在街头见过这样一群人,他们穿着统一的制式服装,举着色彩鲜明的团队旗帜,外放着节奏明快的背景音乐,喊着整齐响亮的口号,迈着较快的步伐沿马路集体前行,部分队伍甚至能连续在路面行走一两个小时,这类集体徒步队伍就是大众熟知的暴走团。 此前全国不少地区都有市民网友反馈,当地部分暴走团出行时完全无视基础交通规则,直接集体抢占非机动车道,导致正常骑行的电动自行车、自行车根本无法在专属车道内按规则通行,甚至还出现过多起因队伍占道引发的剐蹭磕碰事故。 这类占道集体出行的行为此前长期处于监管模糊地带,不少普通市民早已提出质疑,在公共马路上集体占道暴走的行为,本身就涉嫌扰乱公共交通秩序,也违背了公序良俗的基本要求。

二 | 就在今天提请十四届全国人大常委会会议初次审议的道路交通安全法修订草案中,针对这类市民反映强烈的出行乱象专门给出了明确约束,条款直接划定红线。 新规明确,未经相关部门许可,任何单位或者个人都不得擅自占用道路从事非交通类活动,此前长期打监管擦边球的占道暴走团乱象,终于有了清晰明确的法律治理依据。 过去这类占道暴走活动之所以屡禁不止,核心原因就是此前没有对应的明确法条界定行为边界,监管部门执法缺少直接依据。 这次把相关约束正式写入道交法,既可以引导暴走爱好者去往专属的体育锻炼场地开展活动,也能从根源上避免这类活动挤占公共路面资源、干扰正常通行秩序的问题,充分兼顾了不同群体的合法出行权益。
