Va. scientist pleads guilty to China tech sales
维基尼亚州科学家承认向中国出售技术
A Virginia scientist pleaded guilty Monday to selling rocket technology to China and bribing Chinese officials to secure a lucrative contract for his high-tech company.
本周一，一名维基尼亚州的科学家承认认曾经将火箭技术卖给中国，并且通过贿赂中国官员来帮他的高科技公司获取合同。
Quan-Sheng Shu, 68, pleaded guilty to two counts of violating the federal Arms Control Act and one count of bribery at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Norfolk.
68岁的舒全生（音译），在诺福克美国联邦地方法院对他违反美国联邦联邦武器管制法中的两项条款和行贿的行为表示认罪。
Shu is president of AMAC International Inc. of Newport News. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Shanghai.
舒是AMAC国际公司的总裁。他是一名在上海出生的美国公民。
Prosecutors said Shu, an expert in cryogenics, sold technology to China for the development of hydrogen-propelled rockets.
检察官说舒是一名低温学专家，他将技术卖给中国以帮助其发展氢力推进火箭。
The Chinese government is developing a space launch facility in the southern island province of Hainan that will house liquid-propelled launch vehicles designed to send space stations and satellites into orbit.
中国政府正在海南岛建立一座卫星发射中心。那里将会配备装有这种用来把空间站和卫星送入轨道的氢力推进火箭。
Shu also was charged with bribing Chinese officials to award a $4 million hydrogen liquefier contract to a French company acting as an AMAC intermediary.
舒还被指控使用四百万美元贿赂中国官员，来帮助一个法国公司获取氢气液化气的合同。这个法国公司是AMAC的一个中介公司。
Shu received more than $386,000 in commissions for securing the contract, authorities said. He already had agreed to forfeit that money. His company also has offices in Beijing.
舒获得了386,000美金作为签约合同的回扣，美国当局说。他已经同意让这笔钱被没收。他的公司在北京也有办事处。
The scientist and his wife refused to comment as they left the courtroom. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors agreed not to prosecute his wife for the role she allegedly played in the scheme.
这名科学家和他的妻子在离开法院时拒绝就此事发表看法。作为认罪协议的一部分，检察官同意不对他妻子在整个事件中所扮演的角色进行起诉。
Shu faces up to 10 years on each arms count and five years for the bribery charge and fines of up to $2.5 million. Sentencing is scheduled for April 6.
每一项违反的美国联邦联邦武器管制法条款，舒都将面临10年的徒刑。对于行贿行为，他将被处以250万美金的罚款。法庭将于4月6日进行宣判。
Assistant U.S. Attorney Alan M. Salsbury said Shu's conviction was the result of an ongoing FBI investigation, but he declined further comment after the hearing.
美国助理司法部长Alan M. Salsbury说舒的定罪是美国联邦调查局一项正在进行的调查的结果。但他在法庭听证会后拒绝就此事进一步发表看法。
Federal authorities in recent years have prosecuted more than a dozen cases of either traditional spying or economic espionage related to China. U.S. officials have warned in the last year of increasing espionage efforts by Beijing.
联邦官员在最近几年起诉了十几例案子。这些案子都牵涉到跟中国有关传统间谍或者经济间谍。美国官员去年已经发出警告说北京的间谍活动有所增加。
