WASHINGTON—To hear the Americans tell it, the Chinese have gone on a commercial crime spree, pilfering trade secrets from seed corn to electronic brains behind wind turbines. China has stripped the arm off a T-Mobile robot, the U.S. says, and looted trade secrets about robotic cars from Apple. Prosecutors allege that the Chinese company wanted T-Mobile technology to use on its own phone-testing robot. Zhang stored Apple’s trade secrets on various devices before being caught by the company’s security team last spring, the FBI alleged. The U.S. has barred Fujian Junhua from importing U.S. components, an action that threatens to put the Chinese company out of business.
