Yi-Chi Shih sourced sensitive microchips from an American company whose customers include the U.S. Air Force and DARPA.
A California-based electrical engineer has been found guilty of attempting to export sensitive military electronics to China and could face more than two centuries behind bars.
The MMICs were then shipped to Chinese company called Chengdu GaStone Technology , where Shih had previously served as president. The firm was in the process of building its own MMICs factory, the DOJ press release said. Furthermore, CGTC has been on the Commerce Department's"Entity List" since 2014, marking it as a national security threat and requiring official authorization before any American technology can be sold to the company. The DOJ noted that the company had been"involved in the illicit procurement of commodities and items for unauthorized military end use in China."
