Dirty Little Secrets
China Tries to Sell Stolen U.S. Technology

Discussion Board on this DLS topic
China has produced a new twin 23mm
antiaircraft gun that, apparently uses stolen American technology. The
Chinese describe their new antiaircraft system as using “Chain Gun”
technology. The U.S. Boeing company holds patents on the chain gun feed
mechanism. In 2001, China first mentioned that they had adopted the
“chain gun” technology, but at the time, these weapons were only
available for Chinese use. Now that the Chinese are selling new
versions of these weapons to foreigners, Boeing may go after them for
patent infringement. Boeing tried to sell the Chinese chain gun
technology in the 1990s, demonstrating it in China. But there was no
sale. Why buy when you can steal?
