Chuan Geng and Shiwei Yang face federal charges after allegedly exporting artificial intelligence microchips valued at tens of millions of dollars to China. They operated ALX Solutions Inc., a technology company in El Monte that provided powerful processing units. Attorneys allege they knowingly circumvented U.S. export regulations for nearly three years, exporting shipments mislabeled or without licenses through third-party countries like Singapore and Malaysia. Geng is a lawful permanent U.S. resident, while Yang is in the country illegally after overstaying her visa.
Geng and Yang owned and operated an El Monte-based technology company called ALX Solutions Inc., which specialized in providing high-powered central and graphics processing units for individuals and businesses. The company had high-performance microchips capable of being used in AI technology, such as self-driving cars and medical diagnosis systems.
Prosecutors allege that shortly after the U.S. Department of Commerce began requiring a license or authorization to export sensitive technologies overseas, ALX Solutions was involved in at least 20 unlicensed or mislabeled chip shipments to China through third-party countries.
