Introduction
In this paper, we will discuss a case of economic espionage involving two businessmen,
one American citizen, other a Chinese national. In 1997, Pin Yen Yang and Sally Yang, Pin’s
daughter, were charged with conspiring of committing Economic Espionage. This paper will
describe the evidence collected in this case and provide an analysis of that evidence.
Evidence
Pin Yeng Yang and his daughter Hwei Chen Yang were arrested on September 5, 1997.
Everything started in 1989, when Pin Yen Yang, the President of a Taiwan company called Four
Pillars Enterprise. The Taiwan company was stealing confidential information and research data
from Avery Dennison Corporation through an employee of Avery Dennison in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Avery employee, Dr. Ten Hong Lee, received between $150,000 and $160,000 for trading
highly sensitive manufacturing information and research data over a period of eight years from
1989 to 1997. Compensation were made through Lee’s family members in Taiwan which would
then be wired to him in Ohio from his family members. It was estimated that the overall value of
the stolen information from Avery were in the tens of millions of dollars’ worth of data. Lee was
confronted by the FBI and pleaded guilty to charges of economic espionage. Six months later,
The court sentenced Yang to two years’ probation, six months of home confinement in lieu of
imprisonment, and a $250,000 fine and Sally Yang was sentenced to one year’s probation and a
$5000 fine (1997).
Conclusion
In conclusion, this case was just one of many cases involving economic espionage by
China or individuals acting for Chinese interests. It is cheaper, easier, and less costly to steal
information and trade secrets, than to perform research and develop it using its own resources.
