They should charge those responsible and then execute them when found guilty.



Honeywell has agreed to pay $13 million in fines and compliance costs after company officials sent multiple engineering and technical documents to China with details of multiple aircraft, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 and F-22, over a seven-year period, the U.S. State Department said May 3.
The settlement allows Honeywell to pay $8 million in fines over a two-year period, plus another $5 million on compliance measures, according to the consent decree released by the State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).

The measures include conducting an audit of the company’s arms export compliance program and hiring an external compliance officer to oversee Honeywell’s adherence to the terms of the settlement, Honeywell said in a statement to Aviation Week.

The State Department reviewed 71 drawings that Honeywell exported or transferred to China, according to a charging document. The unauthorized release of drawings for parts and components for the engines of the F-35, F-22 and Boeing B-1B “harmed U.S. national security,” the DDTC document said.

Honeywell’s statement does not acknowledge any harm to national security due to the self-reported offenses.

“The issues Honeywell reported involved technology that was assessed as having an impact on national security, though is commercially available throughout the world,” a Honeywell spokesman said. “No detailed manufacturing or engineering expertise was shared.”

We have paid trillions and trillions of dollars in taxes and we the citizens always seem to get ripped off. Especially with questionable and expensive big ticket projects. We can not build these things as fast as China can.

I don't believe that is factual.

Honeywell's market capitialization as of April 30th, 2021 was $155.51 Billion Dollars. A $13 Millions dollar fine is not even a slap on the wrist. Somebody or several somebodies should be in prison and fines should be more in the $13 Billion Dollar range at the least.
I was curious as the Aviation week article was unclear on what the drawing were.
"The violations included sharing "engineering prints showing dimensions, geometries, and layouts for manufacturing castings and finished parts for multiple aircraft, gas turbine engines, and military electronics," according to the statement."
"A Bureau of Political-Military Affairs' charging document said the data to China consisted of "drawings for certain parts and components for the engine platforms for the F-35 joint strike fighter, B-1B Lancer long-range strategic bomber and F-22 fighter aircraft," which "harmed U.S. national security."
"Other platforms shared include the F/A-18 Hornet fighter, C-130 transport aircraft, A-7H Corsair aircraft, A-10 Warthog aircraft, Apache Longbow helicopter, M1A1 Abrams tank, the Tomahawk missile and the F135, F414, T55 and CTS800 turboshaft engines."
I got that off MSM.COM and article from The Hill. Better reporting.
