Washington. Dos piratas informáticos chinos fueron acusados por supuestamente robar información sobre proyectos de vacuna contra la covid-19 y de violar la propiedad intelectual de compañías en Estados Unidos y otros países, informó el Departamento de Justicia estadounidense el martes.

Li Xiaoyu, de 34 años, y Dong Jiazhi, de 33, están acusados también de ataques contra activistas de los derechos humanos de Estados Unidos y Hong Kong, dijo el asistente del fiscal general para la Seguridad Nacional, John Demers, en una conferencia de prensa en Washington.
