Canada charges 4 men for exporting satellite technology to China

TORONTO, March 1 (Reuters) - Canadian police have arrested
two men and are seeking two others for exporting controlled
goods and technologies intended for space satellite use to China
in violation of export and defense laws.
Three of the men are linked to Waterloo, Ontario-based
Teledyne DALSA Inc, while the fourth works for one of the
Chinese companies involved in the transaction, the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police said late on Monday.
"These contracts involved a state-owned corporation and a
Chinese-based company founded by two of the accused to create
microelectronics destined to enhance space satellite camera
technology," the RCMP said in a statement.
The charges came two years after the Canadian government
asked police to investigate controlled goods being shipped
between Canada and China in violation of Canada's trade laws,
which restrict the export of sensitive defense and
security-related technologies.
Ottawa requested the investigation after receiving a
complaint from Teledyne DALSA. According to its website, the
company is a manufacturer of digital imaging products and
semiconductors, specializing in "integrated circuit and
electronics technology, software, and highly engineered
semiconductor wafer processing."
The RCMP said it had charged Arthur Xin Pang and his
company, Global Precision Inc, and Binqiao Li with theft and
fraud, among other charges, and Nick Tasker and his company, 3D
Microelectronics Inc, and Hugh Ciao with fraud and conspiracy to
commit fraud, among other charges.
Pang and Li, who are Canadian residents, have been arrested,
while arrest warrants have been issued for Tasker, a British
resident, and Ciao, a U.S. resident, the police said.
