A 72-year-old former Boeing engineer is accused of giving China details about the space shuttle and other aerospace programmes.
In a separate case, two men and a woman are accused of handing over US defence department documents about Taiwan.
A US justice department spokesman said the cases represented serious breaches of national security.
Four people have been arrested in the United States for passing secret defense information to China. 72 year-old Dongfan "Greg" Chung "faces charges including eight counts of economic espionage, conspiracy, and making false statements to FBI investigators." He is a naturalized US citizen who worked in the aerospace industry for about thirty years.
