A better commercial strategy of China
A better commercial strategy of China
The trade strategy of the Trump Administration in China has employed processing fees that hurt the United States and China. But politics took a better turn this week with strong but specific actions to punish the alleged theft of US technology. UU
On Monday, the Department of Commerce announced restrictions on the export of US technology to Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co. after the United States
He accused the Chinese firm of stealing his intellectual property. State-owned Jinhua is increasing the production of "technology of American origin," says Commerce, which threatens US suppliers with "essential components of the US military systems."
Intellectual property theft is generally not reported because victims fear reprisals and reputational damage, but Micron's admirable position against China's theft offers a look at Jinhua's alleged methods, which were detailed in the company's lawsuit. filed in December 2017 against Jinhua in the US federal court. UU

signed a technology cooperation agreement to provide dynamic random access memory (DRAM) technology from Jinhua. These memory chips are used in computers and smartphones, and Micron is one of the three companies in the world that produces large quantities. Micron says that UMC recruited two Micron engineers to steal intellectual property. Micron notified the police after he discovered the rape, and Taiwanese prosecutors indicted the two men in August 2017.
The Taiwanese indictment says that one of Micron's former engineers accessed 931 files related to "the method, technology, process and design of DRAM" days before leaving the company. "You transferred it to a USB storage device," then "to two of your own laptops," and "you also uploaded it to your Google Drive." Micron calls it "one of the boldest commercial espionage plans in recent times." UMC and Jinhua deny the accusations.
Enter the US Department of Justice UU., That on Thursday accused UMC, Jinhua, the two engineers and another former employee of Micron for stealing trade secrets. The court also filed a civil action seeking a court order to prevent the stolen technology from being used. Attorney General Jeff Sessions estimated the cost of the alleged robbery at up to $ 8.75 billion.
This week, prosecutors also filed charges against 10 Chinese intelligence officers for hacking United States aviation companies. Mr. Sessions said that five other cases related to stolen trade secrets are currently being processed, and announced a new initiative to investigate China's theft. "China, like any advanced nation, must decide if it wants to be a reliable partner on the world stage," said Mr. Sessions. "Our desire is to have a trusted partner."
One of the reasons why intellectual property theft is generally not reported is that companies fear reprisals, and Micron is already facing some. UMC and Jinhua have sued Micron's Chinese subsidiaries in a Chinese court for patent infringement against Micron's Chinese subsidiaries. The Fuzhou court issued a court order in July that prevented Micron's subsidiaries from importing or selling related products, which represent approximately 1% of the company's annual revenues.
In May, a Chinese regulator opened a pricing investigation into Micron and other foreign chip makers. On Tuesday, China's Ministry of Commerce responded to export restrictions by demanding that the United States "immediately put an end to its wrong paths."
The latest actions of the United States can attract China's attention more than tariffs, because Jinhua is part of President Xi Jinping's Made in China 2025 effort to build a world-class semiconductor industry. Commerce's previous export sanction for China's ZTE, which Mr. Trump retracted at the request of Mr. Xi, would have paralyzed the phone manufacturer, which was based on the EE components. UU Beijing has increased subsidies for Chinese companies such as Jinhua, a new company that has a backing of $ 5.7 billion in state funds.
Export restrictions and accusations also have the advantage of focusing on the culprits, while tariffs extend the economic damage to innocent consumers. The actions send a message that the United States wants to punish theft and abusive behavior, not free trade and honest trade. Beijing has to choose the type of business partner it wants to be.
