LOS ANGELES: A judge in California has ordered two Chinese nationals held without bail on charges of stealing U.S. warship technology. Authorities say the suspects are part of a scheme involving two brothers and their wives, and all four face criminal charges.

Prosecutors say Tai Wang Mak, a broadcast and engineering director for the Phoenix North American television channel, and his wife, Fuk Heung Li, were carrying encrypted disks with information on U.S. submarine technology when they were arrested. They were taken into custody October 28 at Los Angeles International Airport, en route to Guangzhou, China.
