Italian authorities extradited Xu Zewei, a 34-year-old Chinese national accused of hacking US universities and exploiting Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities on behalf of China's Ministry of State Security, to face a nine-count federal indictment in Houston — only the second time a Chinese national linked to state-sponsored cyber operations has been physically brought to US soil for trial. The case, which FBI Director Kash Patel says justified his controversial Italy trip during the Winter Olympics, arrives at a fraught moment in US-China relations and raises questions about the strategic value of rare extraditions against a backdrop of dozens of unserved indictments.
