6/24/2018  资料图片：美国波士顿地方法庭一景（美联社） 中国政府近期一直致力于提升国产高科技产品的水准，但很多国家屡屡指控他们的尖端科技数据遭窃后被运用到了中国产品中。美国东北部一华裔男子近日就受到了这样的指控。 美国马赛诸塞州联邦检察官办公室周四发表声明，现年41岁、家住韦尔斯利镇的华裔男子秦树人（Shuren Qin，音译）周四被捕。对他的指控说，他长期与中国军事研究机构密切合作，并向中国非法出口用于反潜作战的敏感设备。 声明提到，秦树人在中国出生。他于2014年通过移民投资签证项目（EB-5）拿到了美国绿卡，目前是美国永久居民。2015年到2016年间，他向中国军队的合作机构出口了78件水听器。该设备能够接收水下声音信号，运用范围包括现代海军反潜作战和水下兵器试验等军事项目。  Global Leaders in Math Education  APLUS教学中心 | 一对一辅导服务中心 | 申请咨询顾问中心 当被问及秦树人的案件时，中国外交部发言人耿爽周五在例行记者会上表示他并不知情。 据路透社报道，秦树人在中国经营多家公司，其中包括青岛领海海洋仪器有限公司。该公司的客户包括多家中国研究机构和中国解放军海战分支。作为领海公司总裁，他向西北工业大学出口了多只水听器。早在2001年，美国商务部就把西北工业大学列入国家安全风险机构名单中，理由是它长期在提升作战力方面与中国军方密切合作。秦树人在未获美国商务部颁发的出口许可证的情况下擅自出口此类设备违反了美国出口管制法律。 除了非法出口的罪名外，他还被指控签证欺诈。法庭文件显示，秦树人曾多次向美国政府提供虚假声明。尽管他早在2012年就开始非法出口设备，但在2014年申请投资移民签证和绿卡时，他两次声明从未违反过美国出口管制法律。在2017年与美国海关及边境保卫局官员的一次面谈时，秦树人表示他仅出口过浮标附属装置，但实际上他出口的物品还包括了侧扫声纳系统、无人水下航行器和机器船等设备。这些设备有许多军用价值，在武器投射系统、反潜战等领域都有用武之地。 领英网资料显示，秦树人1999年毕业于中国海洋大学，主修海洋生物学。在成立领海公司前，他曾任美国维赛仪器(YSI)青岛分部和青岛诺泰尔（NortekCN）测量设备有限公司的工程师。 声明说，他将于周五在波士顿联邦法院出庭。如果两项罪名均成立，他将面临最高30年的有期徒刑和125万美元的罚款。 从现有信息来看，秦树人案符合中国近年来设法窃取美国机密技术的规律。 在美国国会众议院军事委员会周四举行的听证会上，美国国防及情报人员表示，中国十年前启动的“千人计划”是中国转移、复制并赶上美国军事水平的重要工具，其目标包括促进非法转移美国技术和知识产权。该计划官网显示，“千人计划”旨在引进海外高层次人才回国创业，围绕国家发展战略目标突破关键技术、发展高新产业、带动新兴学科。 6/24/2016 By Daniel Libon BOSTON, MA — A Chinese native living in Wellesley faces allegations that he illegally exported U.S. goods to China and made false statements to obtain a visa and become a permanent resident. Shuren Qin, 41, a Chinese national residing in Wellesley, Mass., was charged in a criminal complaint with one count of visa fraud and one count of conspiring to commit violations of U.S. export regulations. Qin was arrested Thursday and is due in federal court in Boston on Friday, according to the U.S. Attorney's office. According to charging documents, Qin was born in the People's Republic of China and became a lawful permanent resident of the United States in 2014. Qin operates several companies in China, which purport to import U.S. and European goods with applications in underwater or marine technologies into China. It is alleged that Qin was in communication with and/or receiving assignments from entities affiliated with the PLA, including the Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU), a Chinese military research institute, to obtain items used for anti-submarine warfare. In 2001, the Department of Commerce designated NWPU on its Entity List because of the national security risks it poses to the U.S. NWPU has worked closely with the PLA on the advancement of its military capabilities. From at least July 2015 to December 2016, Qin allegedly exported approximately 78 hydrophones (devices used to detect and monitor sound underwater) from the United States to NWPU without obtaining the required export licenses from the Department of Commerce, in violation of U.S. export laws. Qin did so by concealing from the U.S. supplier that NWPU was the end-user and causing false information to be filed with the United States Government. As alleged in court documents, in 2014, Qin made false statements on his visa application. Specifically, he falsely certified that he had never "engaged in export control violations or other unlawful activity." However, it is alleged that Qin engaged in numerous violations of U.S. export laws since 2012. In his petition to become a legal permanent resident of the U.S., Qin again falsely certified that he had never committed any crime. Furthermore, during a November 2017, interview with Customs and Board Patrol Officers, Qin stated that he "only" exported instruments that attach to a buoy. However, Qin had allegedly exported remotely-operated side scan sonar systems, unmanned underwater vehicles, unmanned surface vehicles, robotic boats, and hydrophones. These items have military applications and can be used for weapon delivery systems, anti-submarine warfare, mine counter-measures as well as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance activities. Qin faces up to 20 years in prison, three years of probation and a fine of up to $1 million for the charge of conspiring to violate U.S. export laws. The charge of visa fraud comes with a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.
