ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A woman who helped a Chinese spy obtain U.S. military secrets has been sentenced in Virginia to a year and a half in prison.

Thirty-three-year old Yu Xin Kang (yoo shin kong) is a Chinese national who had been living in New Orleans with furniture salesman Tai Shen Kuo.

Kang at times served as an intermediary for Kuo in helping him get secret information about U.S.-Taiwanese military relations to the Communist government in Beijing.

The 18-month sentence issued Friday is less than the 30 months sought by prosecutors. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said a lighter sentence was warranted in part because Kang was essentially a puppet doing Kuo's bidding.

Kuo is scheduled to be sentenced next week.
