A former U.S. Marine pilot fighting extradition from Australia on U.S. charges of training Chinese military pilots to land on aircraft carriers, unknowingly worked with a Chinese hacker, his lawyer said.

Daniel Duggan, 55, a naturalised Australian citizen, feared requests by Western intelligence agencies for sensitive information were putting his family at risk, the lawyer said in a legal filing seen by Reuters.

The lawyer’s filing supports Reuters reporting linking Duggan to convicted Chinese defence hacker Su Bin.

Duggan denies the allegations that he broke U.S. arms control laws. He has been in an Australian maximum security prison since his 2022 arrest after returning from six years working in Beijing.

    There is no such onus. If you don’t want to go through a paywall, feel free to find an alternate source.

    Again, not my job to find an alternative source. If someone is posting about an article, the article should be readable, and not be behind a paywall. Don’t waste people’s time posting news about articles that they cannot read, because its behind a paywall.

    Or maybe mark them as such, as part of the title, at the very least, so that someone can not bother to click on the post link if they know they can’t get to the article that the post is about because its behind a paywall. Or supply an alternative non-paywalled link as part of the summary.

    That’s the onus I’m speaking of, being able to actually get to the article the post is talking about. Don’t waste another’s time.
