WASHINGTON—The Justice section has charged the proprietor of a Chinese aviation machinery company with stealing reams of in sequence from U.S. Apology contractors roughly recipe American technology—the hottest featuring in an effort to criminally prosecute come again? American officials allege is rampant Chinese work surveillance.

The charges beside Su Bin, a Chinese national living featuring in Canada, shed modern light on an alleged hacking ecosystem with the aim of officials state lingering whispered poses a hazard to many U.S. Companies.

Tensions involving the U.S. And best china completed cyberespionage stay behind from top to bottom. Desk of State John Kerry, visiting best china this week, raised the "chilling effect" hacking has on U.S. Firms. The Chinese, featuring in circle, guarantee themselves to the same degree victims of cyberespionage. On Friday, state anchor best china Central Television called a location-tracking function on hand by Apple Inc. AAPL +1.30%  's iPhone a "national security unease."

Prosecutors featuring in Los Angeles unsealed a 50-page complaint accusing Mr. Su of working with two co-conspirators featuring in best china involving 2009 and 2013 to break into computers by Boeing Co. BA +1.03%  and other apology contractors, bargain machinery and pass it to entities featuring in best china, every now and then on behalf of a cost.

The trio allegedly stole responsive in sequence roughly Boeing's C-17 armed elation seaplane and two of the Pentagon's the largest part well along fighter jets, the F-22 and F-35, built by Lockheed Martin Corp. LMT +1.35%  , amid other projects.

Unlike five Chinese armed officers who were charged featuring in can with hacking into U.S. Companies, Mr. Su appears to state been working on behalf of himself, according to the complaint

The F-35 has been a long-standing target of supposed overseas hackers. The pile Street Journal reported featuring in 2009 with the aim of hackers, probably Chinese, had penetrated Pentagon computers containing in sequence roughly the course.

The complaint helped to answer lone question roughly China's expansive hacking-industrial convoluted. The country's cyberwarriors, a few of whom do on behalf of the armed and others on their own, come to so many targets and vacuum up so much in sequence, with the aim of it can by era it can survive rigid to convey who is directing them, a ex- U.S. Sanctioned whispered.

Many hackers do to the same degree freelancers, every now and then through rancid hours, followed by try to market stolen in sequence to state-owned firms.

"It's the equivalent of the [Tennessee Valley Authority] up for grabs banned and hiring hackers to shot spy on best china," whispered James Lewis, a ex- State section sanctioned and a cybersecurity expert by the base on behalf of Strategic and International Studies.

Featuring in the Boeing container, the effort appeared to survive directed not by China's central government but by Mr. Su, proprietor of a resolved named Beijing stratum machinery Co. Ltd.

The resolved describes itself to the same degree an aerospace machinery company on its website. The complaint whispered the company "is featuring in communication with armed and marketable entities involved featuring in aerospace technology" featuring in best china.

It remains indistinct who employs the two unnamed Chinese hackers listed to the same degree co-conspirators. The largest part of China's cyberespionage activities are controlled by the Chinese army, U.S. Officials say.

A spokesman on behalf of the Chinese group featuring in Washington whispered he wasn't aware of Mr. Su's container, but whispered with the aim of featuring in fresh meetings, U.S. And Chinese officials state discussed the deal out and with the aim of best china told the U.S. To take a "constructive get in touch with."

The complaint describes lone of the unnamed hackers to the same degree the other's supervisor featuring in various organizations. Once selection targets, the duo axiom "military machinery brainpower to the same degree a key focus," according to an interior present yourself cited featuring in the complaint.

The complaint doesn't say how the two alleged hackers came to know Mr. Su.

The alleged hackers gave Mr. Su a 1,467-page register of the Boeing collection they may well bargain, according to the complaint. Mr. Su would followed by convey them which collection he philosophy would pursuit state-owned aerospace firms featuring in best china.

On behalf of demand, Mr. Su apparently wasn't interested featuring in the "C-17 Demilitarization Plan" drawn from a keg but wanted the "C-17 shed chuck," according to the complaint.

Promotion the allegedly stolen tactics to Chinese businesses was every now and then challenging, according to the complaint. Afterward frequent emails from lone of the hackers, Mr. Su responded, "I understand with the aim of it's very urgent on behalf of you. It's not effortless to market the in sequence."

He reminded his colleague with the aim of "the gigantic money" may well turn up in a while, according to the complaint

Two ex- U.S. Officials whispered Chinese hackers often are paid slight and take on characteristic projects to appoint money.

"The consequence is decent," Mr. Su wrote of allegedly stolen in sequence they were wearisome to market to a Chinese company, according to the complaint. "In best china, this in sequence is come again? [an unnamed Chinese aircraft maker] needs. They are too stingy!"

It is indistinct come again? Data, if at all, Mr. Su allegedly eventually sold into best china. But the hackers boasted roughly the heist featuring in interior memos, suggesting someone benefited from the data.The government says it didn't achieve evidence indicating whether Mr. Su took classified in sequence, though the complaint whispered a few of the data was business to laws with the aim of impede the export of armed machinery.

Boeing whispered it was informed by the FBI and Air Force investigators of the alleged breaches featuring in 2012 and was continuing to cooperate with the system. Lockheed whispered it is cooperating with the U.S. Government.

Boeing delivered the key C-17 to the U.S. Air Force featuring in 1993. The four-engine jet, able to have in stock troops and equipment to and from petite airfields, won overseas information from allies as well as the U.K., Australia and Canada.

But afterward a drought of modern information, Boeing whispered only remaining time it would put a stop to production and close the lingering Beach, Calif. Factory with the aim of assembles the jet featuring in 2015.

China's state-controlled Xian Aircraft Corp. Is on the rise its own four-engine armed goods jet, dubbed the Y-20, with the aim of flew on behalf of the key phase only remaining time. Western apology experts state whispered the seaplane bears similarities to the C-17, though other armed elation planes in addition share attributes.

At all security breaches relating fighter jets are likely to cause additional alarm. Pentagon officials state featuring in fresh months spoken concerns with the aim of the U.S. Is bringing up the rear its technological superiority featuring in a few areas.

"We stay behind truly concerned roughly cyber-enabled theft of responsive in sequence," a Justice section spokesman whispered. "The conspirators are alleged to state accessed the PC networks of U.S. Apology contractors exclusive of authorization and stolen data linked to armed aircraft and weapons systems."
