A former engineer at Northrop Grumman Corp., was sentenced to 32 years in prison for providing information about defense secrets to China, the export of military technical data and other crimes, the Ministry of Justice of the United States said on Tuesday.

He said Noshir Gowadia, 66, who defended the company employed from 1968 to 1986 and then worked on projects classified as a provider of government of the United States, received the sentence Monday by a federal judge in Hawaii where life Gowadia.

The conviction followed a four-day visit last week to the United States by Chinese President Hu Jintao, which included talks with President Barack Obama and the announcement of the operations of many businesses.

The evidence presented at trial, taken from 2003 to 2005 Gowadia six trips to China to provide information to help China with a cruise missile through the development of an exhaust nozzle resistant to detection.

When Gowadia was arrested in 2005 had paid at least $ 110,000 in China, the Ministry of Justice said.

He was convicted by a federal jury in August of five criminal offenses involving the design of the cruise missile exhaust system. He was also convicted of illegally exporting sensitive information about American B-2 bomber.

"Mr. Gowadia given some of our nation's most sensitive weapons-related designs for the Chinese government for money," said Assistant Attorney General David Kris, who is responsible for the Division of the Department of Justice Security National.

The jury convicted Gowadia two specific items of classified information, the department said.

One involved a PowerPoint presentation on the exhaust pipe and an assessment of the effectiveness of a new nozzle design, and the other a computer file to its forecast of a missile equipped with modified nozzle.

U.S. intelligence officials have said the spying by China and Russia reached a level close to that of the cold war, and that China was looking for research and development of the United States to strengthen its military capability.

On Friday, a Michigan man received a prison sentence of four years to try to find a job with the CIA so he can spy for China.

Glenn Shriver, 29, pleaded guilty in October in federal court in Virginia with conspiracy to communicate national defense information, after admitting he met with Chinese officials about 20 times and took about $ 70,000 Chinese intelligence officers.
