中国雷神“首席科学家”被美国判刑15个月
作者：ChinaGate
留学美国 脱颖而出成为“首席科学家”
黄振春，1963年出生在江苏镇江市扬中的一个农家。他1980年考取南京大学物理系，1984年获学士学位，1987年获半导体专业硕士学位，继而被分配到北京国家教委科技管理中心工作。后留学美国获得博士学位，曾在美国军事科技公司担任“首席科学家”。
在美国，黄振春是一位声望极高的风云人物，他担任着华盛顿地区最大的华人社团“华盛顿中国大陆大专院校校友联合会”会长。1999年，在国家主席江泽民和总理朱鎔基访美期间，他曾作为杰出学者受到亲切接见。1999年，他以“旅美杰出青年科学家”的身份应邀回国参加50周年国庆庆典活动。作为侨界领袖，他多才多艺，虽身兼数职却仍能事事得心应手，在澳门回归、中美撞机事件等重大事件发生时，黄振春身在海外却始终以拳拳赤子之心与祖国共荣辱。
1996年，他终于等到了机会。他获得了中国国家自然科学基金会杰出青年科学家基金，并被聘任为南京大学物理系教授，与南京大学开展长期的产学研合作。此时，在他的心里，已经埋下了随时准备回国创业的种子。
黄振春经常说，20世纪是出国热，本世纪将是回国热。以已所长回报祖国，也因此成了萦绕在他心头多年的夙愿。
他的很多朋友对他的这个“种子”却不怎么理解。他们认为他回国的风险太大了，万一不成功，那么在美国拥有的一切包括房子、车子等等都将失去。但是黄振春认为，如果留在美国，自己在宇航领域取得的成果将全部奉送给美国人；而回到祖国，就可以利用这些成果为祖国创造巨大社会财富，而且还能影响带动一批杰出人才回国。他想找机会尝试尝试。
将在美国研究所得的成果带回国内创业
机遇终于来了。2000年6月，黄振春发起并组织了“江苏省21世纪高技术发展及人才培养战略国际研讨会”，在研讨会上，他的将在美国研究所得的成果带回国内创业的考虑与时任摩托罗拉亚洲市场部经理的校友童雪松的想法不谋而合。两人称得上是“一拍即合”。说干就干。那时，他们的目标已经锁定在创办一家光通讯企业上。
从这次研讨会结束到去年6月黄振春正式回国，一年中，他6次飞越太平洋。跑来跑去，只是为了在国内寻找一个创业的“点”。
2001年8月，他将这个“点”选择在了家乡江苏。一年之中，他率7位留美博士斥资近亿元人民币在江苏南京、昆山、镇江成立了生产和开发具有世界先进水平的光电元器件的奥镭光电公司和研发工程中心。这7位留美博士分别来自美国摩托罗拉、JDSU、应用材料和北方电信等国际著名高技术机构。这样一支豪华的科研“联合舰队”，在中国大陆的归国留学生企业中，可以算得上数一数二。
大浪淘沙。创业园里获得成功的“海龟”企业历历可数。大部分“海龟”企业还如同嗷嗷待哺的婴儿，急需政府的扶持、资金的补养。如何选择适合自己的孵化器？
黄振春笑着打开了话匣。“如果将我们的企业建在北京中关村、上海浦东新区或其他全国熟知的开发区，我们只能成为众多‘海龟’企业中的一个分母，分享一些政策待遇。但我们如果将正在蓬勃发展的中小城市作为孵化器，那么就将对本土高新技术的发展起到良好的示范作用，对当地几大产业的培育和发展起到有力的推动作用。虽然镇江的硬件环境目前还达不到一流，但该市领导却为我们提供了国内一流的‘软件’环境，他们对新生的奥镭光电，不仅提供最优惠的政策，而且时时进行细致入微、可操作性极强的引导。”
正如黄振春所言，选择成为冷门孵化器中的“黑马”使奥雷从一诞生就享受到一份特殊的关爱。从国家领导人到中国驻美大使馆，从科技部到中科院以及江苏省、南京市、镇江市，都为奥镭闯海送上一程。镇江市侨联的领导对黄振春更是关怀备至。听说黄振春是位专业级的乒乓球爱好者，他们还专门为他在这个全国重点乒乓球城市请了一位高级教练。
披坚执锐 打造光电子“中国创造”品牌
据科学界预测，到2015年，光电子产业可能开始取代传统电子产业，成为21世纪最大的产业，并成为衡量一个国家经济发展和综合国力的重要标志。
令黄振春博士倍加振奋的是，2005年9月1日，国家科技部部长徐冠华在北京接见他，表示将把奥雷光电列入国家重点发展企业的范围。这使黄振春心中产生了酬壮志指期可待的激荡。他表示，奥雷光电将在高起点上进行LED外延材料和芯片的量产，站到LED领域国际前沿。
使黄振春博士底气更足的是，在光器件领域里，今天的奥雷光电能够做到一个星期出一个拥有自主知识产权和技术专利的新产品。根据“光纤在线”网站 2005年客户调查评比，奥雷光电已经进入光器件供应商世界前十名的位置。随着公司股份结构调整，通过海外融资，奥雷光电将在今年2亿元产值规模的基础上，实现突飞猛进，把产业做大、做强，谱写响彻环宇的“中国创造”光电之歌。
作为旅美杰出华人青年科学家，他曾相继受到当时访美的中国国家领导人江泽民、朱镕基的亲切接见。“海归”创业 自主研发取得累累硕果。
作为中国的杰出科学家，他却受到美国FBI人员的严密监控，并因为“非法向中国出口军工产科技”遭到逮捕。下文报道说：他与美国检察官达成协议，承认阴谋欺诈美国公司的科技产品，被判处15个月徒刑。
结束此帖前，乡吾宁想说的是，既然我们加入了美国籍我们就应该做一个守法的美国人，我们的子孙后代都是美国人，我们有做一个合格的美国公民的义务。
Chinese National Pleads Guilty in Scheme to
Fraudulently Obtain Technology Products from U.S. Companies
Sought to Fabricate an Infrared Detector for Night Vision,
Missile Detection, and Other Military Applications
U.S. Attorney’s Office July 02, 2014
District of Maryland (410) 209-4800
GREENBELT, MD—Zhenchun Huang, a/k/a Ted Huang, age 51, a Chinese national and naturalized U.S. citizen, formerly residing in Clarksville, Maryland, pleaded guilty today to false personation of a federal employee and obstruction of justice, in connection with a scheme to fraudulently obtain technology products from U.S. companies for export to China.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Stephen E. Vogt of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Special Agent in Charge William Winter of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); and Rick Shimon, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security Office of Export Enforcement.
According to his plea agreement, Huang worked as a contract scientist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt from February 1995 to June 2001. Thereafter, he consulted on a limited basis until October 2003 to provide as-needed assistance on a specific Goddard project.
In April 2001, Huang incorporated Allray in Maryland for the stated purpose of forming joint ventures with Chinese governmental and private entities to research, develop and distribute telecommunication and information technology products. Though Allray’s principal place of business was listed as Huang’s place of residence, its entire base of operations was located in China.
During the latter part of 2003 and into early 2004, in an effort to obtain technological components for use by Allray, Huang falsely represented to three U.S. companies that he was employed by NASA and was working on a joint project between NASA and Allray. No such joint project existed. The components which Huang sought included cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) and mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) wafers, considered dual-use technology subject to U.S. export controls. These products were unrelated to Huang’s former work at NASA.
In order to make it appear as though NASA was involved in procuring these products, Huang directed that purchased items be shipped to an associate employed at Goddard; used a Goddard e-mail account to communicate with the companies and subsequently redirect e-mails to his personal e-mail account; faxed (or had faxed) a purchase order from a number associated with Goddard; and presented his former business card to companies that identified him as a contract employee of NASA/Goddard.
In late October 2003, as a result of his false representations, Huang obtained five CZT wafers from Company 1 and four silicon wafers from Company 2. Huang directed his associate working at Goddard to ship two of the CZT wafers to Company 2 so it could apply a specific growth process to add a layer of MCT to the wafers. Huang also directed his associate to buy 10 additional CZT wafers for $10,620 from Company 3. Thereafter, the associate mailed to Company 2, from the Goddard shipping facility and at government expense, two of the CZT wafers Huang had purchased from Company 1. The associate also sent an e-mail from his Goddard e-mail account to Company 3 falsely stating that NASA would be purchasing, through Allray, the 10 CZT wafers sought by Huang.
Company 3 subsequently determined that Allray was a Chinese company headed by Huang, and that the shipping/billing address provided for the purchase was a residential address. Accordingly, Company 3 did not sell the CZT wafers, and the MCT wafers were never manufactured. If successful, the MCT growth process requested by Huang would have fabricated a type of infrared detector suitable for military applications, such as night vision and missile detection, that would have been controlled for export to China. The 10 CZT wafers sought from Company 3 were similarly controlled for export.
In October 2003, Huang bought optoelectronic epoxy from Company 4. Huang directed that the item be shipped to NASA/Goddard, thereby suggesting that the purchase was related to government business. However, Huang provided his residential address for the shipment. Between February and April 2004, Huang tasked his associate with finding an optical filter that could be used in ultraviolet applications. The associate used his Goddard e-mail account to contact Company 5 to obtain a price quote, which he then forwarded to Huang, but the filter was never purchased.
In the fall of 2005, Huang entered into an agreement with company X, which was co-founded by his associate, to build a prototype ultraviolet non-line-of-sight communications system for Allray. From December 2005 to April 2006 and in connection with its agreement with Huang, company X purchased 34 ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV/LEDs) from Company 6, at a total cost of $3,556. The technical specifications of the purchased UV/LEDs, and the manner in which they were to be used, suggested an application more consistent with a covert communications device. Huang had initially contacted Company 6 in October 2005, following an e-mail introduction by his associate, to offer Allray’s services in packaging the company’s UV/LEDs. Huang indicated that Allray was located in China, but falsely stated that Allray’s customers were mainly in the United States. Company 6 did not respond to Huang’s offer. Huang’s associate, who had dealings with Company 6 in his capacity as a NASA employee, never advised Company 6 of his association with company X. In early May 2006, the associate demonstrated to Huang a prototype of the device being built for Allray. At that time, Huang was given two of the diodes obtained from Company 6.
On May 8, 2006, U.S. Customs officials at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago inspected Huang and his luggage just prior to his outbound flight to China. Two of the UV/LEDs purchased from Company 6 were found in Huang’s luggage. Huang made false statements regarding who had given him the diodes, what they were worth, what company had manufactured them, and how they would be used in China. He also provided false information regarding the technical specifications of the diodes.
Huang subsequently directed his wife not speak to, or ask, anyone about what had happened at the airport; to say she did not know anything if questioned; to throw away the box that had originally contained the UV/LEDS found in his luggage; and to clean out their residence. In response, his wife threw away the UV/LED box and certain Allray documents in their home. She deleted all Allray-related files from their home computer, though she saved certain Allray files on a thumb drive. The government recovered some of the documents, including identifying and financial information for Allray’s investors in the United States, Allray’s IPO plan, a 2006 PowerPoint presentation charting Allray’s accomplishments in China, and an article on a short-range, non-line-of-sight ultraviolet communication device.
Following the commencement of the government’s investigation of the scheme, Huang absconded to China and was a fugitive until his arrest in London in December, 2013. Feng Yan, age 46, formerly of Ellicott City, Maryland, was also charged by indictment for his alleged participation in the scheme and is currently a fugitive.
Huang and the government have agreed that if the Court accepts the plea agreement, Huang will be sentenced to 15 months in prison. U.S. District Judge Roger W. Titus scheduled sentencing for October 20, 2014 at 9:00 a.m.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the FBI, HSI Baltimore and Department of Commerce for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Manuelian, who is prosecuting the case.
