U.S. authorities recently announced two criminal cases involving individuals who allegedly skirted U.S. export rules to illegally ship restricted electronics to Hong Kong and mainland China.
In one of the cases, Alex Yun Cheong Yue, 69, of South El Monte, California, is charged with conspiring with Wai Kay Victor Zee, 56, of Hong Kong, in attempts to purchase cesium atomic clocks and send them to Hong Kong without obtaining required export licenses, beginning in December 2015, according to court documents.
