A Beijing-born businessman has been arrested in California on charges of illegally exporting to China sensitive technology capable of use in military radar systems. The US Justice Department says William Tsu Cha-Wai was detained on Saturday at a casino under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. It said Mr Tsu illegally shipped at least 200 sophisticated integrated circuits to China. If convicted the 61-year-old naturalized American citizen faces up to 20 years in prison.
