Chinese National Sentenced to 3.5 Years for Trying to Export Military Boats, Engines to China
A Chinese national was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in federal prison on July 16 for attempting to illegally export maritime raiding craft and multi-fuel engines to China.
Ge Songtao, 51, of Nanjing, China, had pleaded guilty last year to a scheme to order seven rubber raiding boats that use engines that could operate using gasoline, diesel fuel or jet fuel. The U.S. military uses the special engines to launch the craft from submerged submarines or from aircraft into the ocean. China makes no comparable engine.
One of Ge’s U.S.-based employees misled a U.S. manufacturer of the engines by claiming they were destined for Hong Kong rather than Shanghai. The employee, Yang Yang, broke federal law by making a false entry about the destination of the engines in the Department of Commerce’s Automated Export System. Yang Yang pleaded guilty to the crime in September last year.
