The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Daniel Duggan, a former US Marine now residing in Australia, will be extradited to the United States to face charges related to allegations of aiding Chinese military pilots.

Duggan is accused of assisting China in enhancing its pilots' aircraft carrier landing skills, a critical focus as the country builds its naval capabilities.

The allegations, which Duggan denies, involve claims that he worked with a South African aviation school to train Chinese pilots during the early 2010s.

Duggan's legal team has argued that his actions would not be considered criminal under Australian law.

His family, expressing deep concern over the extradition decision, stated they are exploring their legal options.

Australian Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus confirmed the decision, asserting that Duggan would be handed over to US authorities following his detention in 2022.

The indictment against Duggan, originally filed in 2017 and made public two years ago, underscores heightened scrutiny by the US and its allies over reports of veteran Western military personnel contributing to Chinese military advancements.

The US Department of Justice has not issued a public response to the matter.

Meanwhile, the case raises broader concerns about China's efforts to recruit Western expertise as it expands its fleet of aircraft carriers and strengthens its military operations.

Duggan, an Australian citizen for nearly 13 years and a father of six, maintains his innocence, contending that he has been unfairly targeted.
