Boeing and Hughes Charged by US State Dept.
Written by Fraser Cain
The US State Department announced on Wednesday that it has charged aerospace firms Boeing and Hughes with 123 violations of illegally sharing space technology with China. If the charges are upheld, the two companies could face up to $60 million in fines, and be prohibited from selling "controlled technologies" to other countries. The two companies say they did nothing wrong, and have already been fighting these allegations for several years.
