Gao Zhan is a researcher who worked at the American University in Washington, DC. In 2001, she was detained in the People's Republic of China for 166 days on the grounds that she was spying for Taiwan. At that time, she was widely regarded as a political dissident.
Upon her release through medical parole, she was scheduled to be naturalized as an American citizen, but this ceremony was quickly cancelled. The reason for this became apparent in late 2003, when Gao was convicted on charges of violating export regulations in selling microprocessors to the Chinese government. It was revealed that Gao had been under investigation since 2000, before she was detained in China.
