Chinese man admits plot to import missiles to US

From our "partners in peace" in Red China:
When Wu was indicted in November along with another man, Yi Qing Chen, they became the first people charged under a 2004 U.S. law forbidding the import of aircraft-destroying missile systems into the United States, officials said.

Wu, who also admitted to trafficking methamphetamine, counterfeit bills, cigarettes and Ecstasy tablets into the United States, made a plea bargain with U.S. prosecutors in hopes of reducing a possible 25-year prison term.

The indictment identifies the missiles as the QW-2 shoulder-fired type used by the Chinese military since the late 1990s. According to court papers, the undercover FBI agent was told the missiles would be shipped from China to Cambodia and then to the United States with the help of bribed officials.
Wasn't it the KGB that managed to hide within the United States tons of weapons, equipment, and explosives during the 1970's in the event of war?

The obvious questions remain. Who was purchasing these missiles? China? al-Qaeda? Arms dealers? What is the status of these Chinese arms dealers? Do they have any connections with the Chinese government?

Moreover, what if anything with the U.S. government do about it?
