Gao was paid $1.5 million by China for the microprocessors and other items, but prosecutors say she and her husband did not report most of the income on their tax returns.
Gao faces a maximum of 37 months in prison, with her husband facing up to a year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
wtf, she ships them a few pentiums for $1.5 mil. the US gov finds out and slaps them with a 7% fine? she must have martha stewart enron protection.
but yeah in retrospect, the reason why out spending deficit is so big is because we won't sell them any of our high-tech stuff (our specialization) while we keep buying their low-tech clothes (their specialization) and stuff. u could easily cut the $100+ billion annual spending differentia in halfl between the two countries if we shipped them our technology... but then they would have missile shields and JSF's before we do, so no go
