Huang Yu, 41, took in about $700,000 for selling the documents to an unidentified foreign spy agency from 2002 to 2011, state-backed broadcaster CCTV reported. Huang, a computer technician at a research firm, started selling the documents after he began receiving poor performance reviews, according to the Associated Press.
