So many CCP traitors in our tech industries.
More updates for you on our efforts to defend the homeland and protect the American people from our foreign adversaries. This week, Cadence Design Systems Inc., a multinational electronic design automation software and hardware company, plead GUILTY to committing criminal export violations and will pay more than $140 MILLION in criminal and civil penalties. Cadence sold SENSITIVE semiconductor design tools and technology to a RESTRICTED Chinese military university involved in the development of supercomputers which are believed to support military and nuclear explosion simulations in China. Our country’s talented technology innovators – particularly within Silicon Valley’s semiconductor industry – stand amongst the best in the world. Your FBI, along with our partners, will continue to protect our most sensitive industries and innovators from reaching the hands of our ENEMIES. This plea deal is a wakeup call for the semiconductor industry to take our export control laws SERIOUSLY and to better monitor where our leading-edge technology is going. The FBI will never stop working to identify and stop these ILLEGAL actions. I’d like to highlight the great work of
@FBISanFrancisco
, the FBI Counterintelligence Division, and the
@CommerceGov
for their continued efforts to safeguard this technology. This work is CRITICAL to defending the homeland and protecting you, the American people. God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
