This looks shady. Probably the government will charge him for spying. Can any former soldier change his nationality to the one of a country his original country is not at war with? I would expect so. Prosecuting former citizens living abroad sounds bad. Even if it's China or any other "adversary". It's what you would expect those other countries to do

If he was a Harrier pilot, as the article says, he most likely had a clearance and was privy to classified information. Whatever he knew, China certainly knows. I'd guess it has something to do with that.

Turns out if you are the US government, you can get away with anything. Arrested and charges aren't revealed.
