Ling Wancheng, brother of the former chief of staff to President Hu Jintao, Ling Jinhua, is under interrogation by US intelligence agencies and has already revealed state secrets including China’s procedures for launching nuclear weapons, details on top leaders’ personal lives and arrangements for their security, The Financial Times reported, citing two unnamed retired senior officials. Beijing appears to have sent several security teams the US to secure Ling’s return last year in both official and covert capacities, and in August the Obama administration issued a warning to Beijing after discovering spies from China were in the US trying to track Ling down to repatriate him.
