An American Court releases a Chinese company from the charge of stealing the secrets of the disk industry
An American court acquired a Chinese company for the electronic chips industry of the charge of economic spying and other criminal accusations, which besieged the theft of intellectual property rights in China. More than five years after the US Jinhua -integrated circle in the blacklist, as it is a threat to national security, the Boo -Fegter in San Francisco Maxin Chesney found that the company was not guilty after a trial was held without Jurie. This decision, issued on Tuesday, could reduce the efforts of the Joe Biden administration to use strict prosecution to protect US technology. Chesney concluded that the US prosecuting authorities were unable to prove that the Chinese company offered by the state had illegally obtained data owned by Micron Technology, the largest manufacturer of US memory fabric. US prosecutors claim that this data to the Chinese company “Fujian Jinhua” was transferred by the United Microelectronics by producing an agreement with it. United Micro Electronics assisted the US Department of Justice in its case against Fujian Jinhua after taking feelings of guilt in 2020 in the case of commercial secrets and a $ 60 million fine. In the event that the court convicted ‘Fujian Jinhua’, the company will face a fine, in addition to issuing an judicial order that obliged to give up the chips and income he achieved by utilizing the technology submitted to the court. ‘Micron Technology’ said in a statement that he had previously reached a settlement with ‘Fujian Jinhua’, in which the two companies agreed to waive all the cases each company filed against the other, as these issues include a civil lawsuit that filed the US year for the previous year to make the Ministry of Justice against the Chinese company. Representatives of the company “Fujian Genhua” did not immediately respond to the requests for comment, nor did the US prosecutor’s office in San Francisco or the Chinese embassy in Washington not respond. An important statement that this ruling is of particular importance because the Ministry of Justice has rarely seen Chinese businesses in US courts, despite the pursuit of other institutions in the United States and their condemnation because of its illegal leakage of information that enjoys the protection of intellectual property to China. The case was raised against ‘Fujian Jinhua’ in 2018 amid the trade war launched by the then president of the United States, Donald Trump against China, and promoted as a prominent attempt to besiege Beijing’s spy at American businesses and universities. In 2022, the Ministry of Justice, under the administration of President Joe Biden, completed the ‘China initiative’ launched by Trump after being severely criticized for the tempting discrimination against the Americans of the Asian origin, though he moved forward in his judicial pursuit of the company “Fujian Jinhua”. US President Biden with Chinese President Xi Jin Beng in general has tried to create stability in the relations between the two countries that have deteriorated due to spying problems and other problems, and this effort includes a direct summit held last November during the Conference of Economic Cooperation for the Asia and Pacific in San Francisco. However, the two largest economies in the world have continued their struggle to perform in the field of technology. What agreed on Biden and something at the top of high stress? At the same time, the company seems to have tried to weaken “Micron Technology” Beijing, and that it is an attempt to invest in another 4.3 billion yuan in its factory to fill electronic chips in China, and to send CEO Sanjay Mektra during a visit. As for the settlement that took place in December between the US company, based in Idaho and the Chinese company “Fujian Jinhua”, this came after the government of China’s government, last May, came the “Micron Technology” slides to take advantage of a “sensitive infrastructure” as a result of the concern. The United States worked in collaboration with its allies to prevent Beijing from acquiring the most advanced products from semiconductor, as well as the latest Chip Industrial Technology. Random Access Memory Chips was the trial of the “Fujian Jinhua” business associated with the drums of dynamic random access memory or “dram”, and not semiconductor chips that impeded the export of a wide range of products, including cars and smartphones, while its worldwide supply deficits were. In 2018, the factory ‘Fujian Jinhua’, worth $ 6 billion, was the fact that these chips are fully produced within two months, a decisive step towards China to import it at a cost of $ 380 billion at the time. At that moment, the US Department of Trade listed the company “Fujian Genhua” in the SO -Called “entity List” involved in activities that contradict the United States’ interests, and submitted its criminal call to San Francisco. These measures taken by the Ministry of Trade prevented the company from buying the Chip Industry machines, and has a collective exit for US suppliers, engineers and Europeans from the Jinjiang province, in which the headquarters of “Fujian Genhua” is located on the southeastern coast of China. Despite the US ban, the Chinese government is buying Chips. US prosecutors claimed that the president of “Fujian Jinhua” arranged an illegal leaking process at the time to design the memory chips produced by “Micron Technology” by an agreement between his business and the “United Electronics” microelectronics. It was accused of conspiring with two Taiwanese engineers who previously worked on a “Technology Micron” before moving to the Taiwanese company. Although these three were included in the case as accused, and the United States issued orders to seize them in 2020, they have never been to the San Francisco court sessions, as there is no handover agreement between the accused between the United States, Taiwan or China. During the trial years, Fujian Jinhua complained that US prosecuting authorities were pursuing China’s pursuit of major production of memory chips. The company said the same existence was threatened by the inclusion of the blacklist in 2018, which impeded the ability to buy US machines and equipment for the electronic disc industry and led to the failure of production plans. In August, the prominent association of Global Electronic Chips Companies warned that Huawei Technologies – recorded on the list of the US Department of Trade Enterprises in 2019 – is building a group of secret facilities for semiconductor production, and said the company “Fujian Jinhua” is part of the Huawei Technolog.
