Woman accused of illegal export to China - export - illegal


A Maryland woman was charged Friday with exporting miniature controls for small unmanned aircraft to China.



The government says the controls are the world's smallest and involve a technology that cannot be shared with China because of national security concerns. The devices can be used to fly small military reconnaissance planes.

Yaming Nina Qi Hanson of Silver Spring, Md., is accused of taking the controls to China last August without a required export license. If convicted, she faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
