"Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York * * * [together with] Homeland Security Investigations ('HSI') * * * [but not FBI] announced the arrest of FUYI SUN * * * SUN was arrested yesterday after traveling to New York to meet with undercover agents ('UCs') in an effort to obtain the specialized fiber * * *

"Since approximately 2011, SUN has attempted to acquire extremely high-grade carbon fiber, including Toray [name of a Japanese company] type M60JB-3000-50B carbon fiber ('M60 Carbon Fiber').  M60 Carbon Fiber has applications in aerospace technologies, unmanned aerial vehicles (commonly known as “drones”) and other government defense applications.  

"SUN contacted what he believed was a distributor of carbon fiber – but which was, in fact, an undercover entity created by HSI and 'staffed' by HSI undercover special agents (the 'UC Company').  SUN inquired about purchasing the M60 Carbon Fiber without the required license.  In the course of his years-long communications with the undercover agents and UC Company, SUN repeatedly suggested various security measures that he believed would protect them from 'US intelligence.'
