America recognizes sell software to help China build the first aircraft Takenao punishable by law
In recent years, the Chinese continue to be as “imaginary enemy”, “Chinese military threat”, “illegal access to technology , theft of intellectual property rights “and other phrases are common. According to Agence France-Presse reported on June 29, U.S. officials said on the 28th, the United Technologies Corporation and its two branches in Canada and the United States on the 28th is punishable by a fine of more than 75 million U.S. dollars, because they admitted to Chinese export software to help China build its first armed helicopters. ”

A fine of $ 75 million, $ 20.7 million will be paid to the Ministry of Justice, while the remaining $ 55 million will give the State Council. This part of the fine, including the “China’s trading profits.
said in a statement, the Canadian subsidiary to recognize, sell to the Chinese military software in violation of the U.S. Arms Export Control Act. The software is used for testing and control of the company’s helicopter engine, the technology developed a new “Z-10″ helicopter gunships. And its U.S. subsidiary is admitted to give false information to U.S. authorities.

Statement also said that these companies in the sales of this software, we knew that “China is the software development of its military aircraft. Secretary for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau Morton (JohnMorton,) also said that the punishment for several companies had to stop other companies to follow.

rare: The United States finally cutting-edge technology exports to China
to the Earth’s coldest regions of a Chinese scientific expedition team will show that Sino-US trade relations may be to improve the evidence. China National Astronomical Observatories of scientists this month will go to a place called the “Dome A”. The land over 4000 meters above sea level, is one of the highest regions of the Antarctic elevation. Chinese scientists will install a telescope system, where the accuracy and sensitivity will be dependent on some of the equipment designed for the U.S. Navy.
China National Astronomical Observatories Antarctic project team of researchers Qiang also involved in the design of the telescope in the Antarctic. U.S. suppliers to strive for an export license of such equipment had encountered some trouble, “he said in a telephone interview. He said: “the U.S. government’s attitude is very uncertain. So when the arrival of the shipment of equipment of the box, we are very pleased.”
Qiang mentioned in this box is equipped with, including the charge-coupled device some equipment. This device converts light into electronic signals to form a digital image.
consumer digital cameras generally have up to 12 million pixels, headquartered in semiconductor technology partner in California’s exports to China of charge-coupled device with one hundred million pixels, suitable for shooting high-resolution photographs of the sky. However, when not used to observe distant galaxies, with such a charge-coupled device sensitive telescope can be used to track, identify and lock hostile countries satellites operating in Earth orbit.
this equipment is very sensitive to that of China’s National Astronomical Observatory of scientists had thought that the Obama administration may announce a dual-use technology, and thus may refuse to issue export licenses to China.
semiconductor technology partner company president Richard Brett Hauer, confirmed the company’s STA1600 imager will be installed in China set up three telescopes at the South Pole. According to the company’s website, this imager is this designed and manufactured specifically for the U.S. Naval Observatory, used to capture high-resolution photos. However, Brett Hauer, said: “We won the Commerce Department and State Department export license.” He pointed out that the U.S. government agreed to exports the STA1600 imaging instrument of one of the reasons is that the devices can only capture the visible light, can not detect infrared.
can detect infrared charge-coupled device can be used to spy satellites, can be used at night, but also civilian and military facilities separate. Brett Hauer declined to comment on whether the device can detect only visible light can be used for military purposes.
prompted the U.S. government agreed to the export of the device may be due to competition from Europe.
Qiang said the only person of Chinese manufacturers to produce the maximum charge-coupled device fingernail, this telescope is so much like the palm of your hand.
Xi’an Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics Institute, Dr. Zhu Xiangping confirmed that China can not produce a charge-coupled device like the the STA1600 type imaging device of this size. Zhuxiang Ping said, to allow this equipment exports to China are extremely rare. However, he believes that the further strengthening of Sino-US economic and trade relations, the Government will be more and more difficult to ban the export of dual-use goods, the future will have a similar transfer.
Over the years, Beijing has been in the trade talks, urged Washington to relax the export of high-tech products to China and said it would help to reduce the U.S. trade deficit with China. In 2010, the U.S. trade deficit up to $ 273 billion.
