美国外国投资委员会(CFIUS)的成员敦促司法部考虑对TuSimple控股公司的领导人提出经济间谍指控，该公司是一家与中国有联系的美国自动驾驶卡车公司。

外国投资委员会审查外国投资的国家安全问题，并有权实施保障措施或建议总统阻止投资。

拜登政府已下令采取措施，防止美国技术推进中国的军事力量，并正在考虑采取更多措施。
-
参与外国投资委员会审查过程的代表可以向执法部门提出自己的建议。
-
向司法部提出的建议并非来自外国投资委员会的全体小组。
-
被建议可能受到指控的个人是TuSimple的联合创始人和控股股东陈默，TuSimple的联合创始人侯晓迪，以及TuSimple的首席执行官程路。
-
美国外国投资委员会在2021年开始对TuSimple进行审查，因为担心一个中国股东的大量投资和对两个董事会席位的控制。
-
TuSimple的董事会在发现该公司向Hydron及其合作伙伴转移机密信息后，于10月解雇了当时的首席执行官侯。
-
TuSimple表示，它不知道有任何联邦调查局或美国证券交易委员会的调查，并考虑过从Hydron购买货运卡车的协议，但没有购买任何卡车，与这家初创公司没有其他财务关系。
-
The Justice Department has been urged by members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to consider economic espionage charges against leaders of TuSimple Holdings Inc., a US self-driving truck company with ties to China.
-
The recommendation for criminal charges is based on concerns that two founders and the current CEO of the company were transferring technology to a Chinese startup.
-
CFIUS reviews foreign investments for national security concerns and has the authority to impose safeguards or recommend that the President block investments.
-
The Biden administration has ordered steps to prevent US technology from advancing China’s military power and is considering more measures.
-
Representatives who are part of the CFIUS review process can make their own recommendations to law enforcement.
-
The recommendation to the Justice Department did not come from the full CFIUS panel.
-
The individuals recommended for possible charges are Mo Chen, co-founder and controlling shareholder of TuSimple, Xiaodi Hou, co-founder of TuSimple, and Cheng Lu, CEO of TuSimple.
-
CFIUS began its scrutiny of TuSimple in 2021 because of concerns about a Chinese shareholder’s large investment and control of two board seats.
-
The board of TuSimple fired then-CEO Hou in October after discovering that the company had transferred confidential information to Hydron and its partners.
-
TuSimple has said that it is unaware of any FBI or SEC investigations and has considered an agreement to buy freight trucks from Hydron but has not bought any and has no other financial relationship with the startup.
