And some people complains that China do not buy American product<g> -- Sun fined for illegally exporting computers to China

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Sun Microsystems Inc. and its subsidiaries must pay $291,000 in fines after the computer giant allegedly exported computers to China that were used for military purposes, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced Monday.

Santa Clara-based Sun is one of the best known technology companies fined in a Commerce Department crackdown on illegal exports, which intensified in the fall. The department's Bureau of Industry and Security is conducting roughly 1,500 investigations into illegal exports.

Federal officials are particularly concerned about shipments of so-called dual-use technology - computers, software, telecommunication devices and other equipment with both military and civilian uses. Officials say dual-use exports are on the rise to China, India, Russia, Pakistan and other countries with known or suspected nuclear weapons programs.

"The Sun case shows that license conditions matter, and we're aggressively targeting compliance," Assistant Secretary of Commerce Julie L. Myers said. "Companies are on the hook to follow the conditions on the license."
