美国国务院周一宣布，根据《保护美国知识产权法》（PAIPA），对五家涉嫌窃取美国公司商业秘密的中国实体实施广泛制裁。
The US State Department announced on Monday that it was imposing sweeping sanctions under the Protecting American Intellectual Property Act (PAIPA) on five Chinese entities suspected of stealing trade secrets from American companies.
制裁对象包括由前谷歌软件工程师丁林伟创立的上海智算科技、风险投资公司奇迹创投（MiraclePlus）及其三家关联实体。
The targets include Shanghai Zhisuan Technology, founded by former Google software engineer Ding Linwei, venture capital firm MiraclePlus and three related entities.
丁林伟于今年一月因七项商业秘密盗窃罪被判有罪。随后，联邦法院以证据不足为由，宣告他在七项经济间谍罪上无罪，认定当时他并不知情或无意让其行为使中国政府获益。但商业秘密盗窃罪的定罪仍然成立。
Ding was convicted of seven counts of trade secret theft in January. A federal judge subsequently acquitted him on seven additional counts of economic espionage, finding insufficient evidence that he knew or intended at the time of the thefts that his conduct would benefit the Chinese government. The theft convictions remain in place.
根据对丁林伟的原始起诉书，他窃取了与谷歌人工智能超算基础设施相关的机密代码，其中包括用于训练和部署大规模人工智能模型的张量处理单元（TPU）、图形处理单元（GPU）系统及网络组件的技术细节。
According to the original indictment against Ding, he stole confidential code related to Google’s AI supercomputing infrastructure, including technical details of tensor processing units (TPUs), graphics processing unit (GPU) systems and networking components used to train and deploy large-scale AI models.
该技术对中国的人工智能产业具有战略意义。由于高性能芯片受出口管制，高效协调和调度数千颗芯片用于大模型训练，已成为发展超级智能（SI）的最大障碍之一。
The technology is strategically important to China’s AI industry. With high-performance chips subject to export controls, efficiently coordinating and scheduling thousands of chips for large-model training has become one of the biggest barriers to developing super intelligence (SI).
谷歌的软件能够显著提升大规模计算集群的利用效率。2025年2月的补充起诉书称，丁林伟曾申请上海的人才计划。
Google’s software can significantly improve the utilisation efficiency of large computing clusters. A superseding indictment in February 2025 said Ding applied to a talent programme in Shanghai.
其申请材料中写道，其产品“将帮助中国拥有与国际水平相当的算力基础设施能力”。
His application material stated that his product “will help China to have computing power infrastructure capabilities that are on par with the international level”.
丁林伟于2019年5月加入谷歌，担任软件工程师，主要负责谷歌超算数据中心的软件开发工作，因而能够接触到公司的核心技术资产。
Ding joined Google in May 2019 as a software engineer and mainly worked on software development for Google’s supercomputing data centres, giving him access to the company’s core technology assets.
根据起诉书的补充指控，他于2022年5月至2023年5月期间秘密将超过1000个独特的谷歌文件上传至个人云端账户。在谷歌任职期间，他未通知公司便秘密在中国成立了科技公司，并宣称自己“掌握谷歌计算平台技术”以吸引投资。
According to the superseding indictment, he secretly uploaded more than 1,000 unique Google files to his personal cloud account from May 2022 to May 2023. While employed at Google, he secretly founded technology companies in China without notifying the company and pitched his “mastery of Google’s computing platform technology” to attract investment.
丁于2023年底辞去谷歌职务，并预订了一张从旧金山飞往北京的单程机票。FBI于2024年3月将其逮捕。今年1月，旧金山联邦陪审团以14项罪名定其有罪，其中包括7项经济间谍罪和7项商业秘密盗窃罪。
Ding resigned from Google in late 2023 and booked a one-way ticket from San Francisco to Beijing. The FBI arrested him in March 2024. In January this year, a federal jury in San Francisco convicted him on 14 counts, including seven counts of economic espionage and seven counts of trade secret theft.
8月，联邦地区法官文斯·查布里亚（Vince Chhabria）裁定，检方未能提供足够证据证明丁“知情或意图”其行为会使中国政府受益，因而推翻了所有经济间谍罪名，但维持了商业秘密盗窃罪的定罪。
In August, federal District Judge Vince Chhabria ruled that prosecutors had not presented enough evidence to prove that Ding “knew or intended” that his conduct would benefit the Chinese government, and overturned all the economic espionage counts while upholding the trade secret theft convictions.
9月1日，丁被判处12个月减一天的有期徒刑，并被命令支付约19.8万美元的赔偿金。
On September 1, Ding was sentenced to 12 months minus one day in prison and ordered to pay about US$198,000 in restitution.
国务院根据《防止美国投资者受到不公平待遇法》（PAIPA）的制裁名单全面切断了丁所创立的公司及其背后的资本网络。
The State Department’s sanctions list under PAIPA comprehensively cut off the company Ding founded and the capital network behind it.
被制裁的实体包括丁于2023年创立的上海智算科技。该公司宣称拥有谷歌TPU Superpod的经验，该系统可将多达9600颗芯片整合为单一逻辑网络，并明确表示能够复制谷歌的SI基础设施技术。
The sanctioned entities include Shanghai Zhisuan Technology, which Ding founded in 2023. The company claimed to have experience with Google’s TPU Superpod, which clusters up to 9,600 chips into a single logical network, and explicitly said it could replicate Google’s SI infrastructure technology.
还包括米拉奇Plus（MiraclePlus），这是一家知名的初创企业孵化器和风险投资公司，曾以股权为交换向上海智算提供种子轮融资，并为其提供展示平台以吸引后续投资。
They also include MiraclePlus, a well-known start-up incubator and venture capital firm that provided seed funding in exchange for equity in Shanghai Zhisuan and gave it a platform to showcase itself and attract follow-on investment.
制裁声明称：“丁利用米拉奇Plus提供的平台展示其公司智算，吹嘘其与谷歌技术的关联及其复制该技术以适应中国国情的能力。”
“Ding, using the stage provided by MiraclePlus to present his company, Zhisuan, touted his connection to Google technology and his ability to replicate its technology to fit China’s national conditions,” the sanction statement said.
该名单还包括米拉可Plus管理的两只风险投资基金——北京祈纪创探一期风险投资中心有限合伙企业（一期）和北京祈纪创探二期风险投资中心有限合伙企业（二期），以及北京祈纪创探智源企业管理中心有限合伙企业（智源企业），该企业为一期基金全资拥有的企业管理实体。
The list further includes two venture capital funds managed by MiraclePlus – Beijing Qiji Chuangtan Phase I Venture Capital Centre Limited Partnership (Phase I) and Beijing Qiji Chuangtan Phase II Venture Capital Centre Limited Partnership (Phase II) – and Beijing Qiji Chuangtan Zhiyuan Enterprise Management Centre Limited Partnership (Zhiyuan Enterprise), a corporate management entity wholly owned by the Phase I fund.
这五家实体将面临一系列金融和商业措施，包括资产冻结、禁止与美国个人和实体进行交易，以及对金融服务和外汇许可证的限制。这些公司未能立即回应置评请求。
The five entities will face a series of financial and commercial measures, including asset freezes, a ban on transactions with US individuals and entities, and restrictions on financial services and foreign-exchange licenses. The companies did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
