美国制裁了与谷歌前工程师丁林葳相关的5家中国实体，其中包括其创业公司的投资方。丁林葳2023年创办上海智算科技，开发加速超级计算芯片上机器学习训练的软件，并曾向北京孵化器MiraclePlus申请种子投资、以股权换取资金。被制裁实体面临资产冻结、禁止与美国人士交易以及金融服务和外汇牌照受限。庭审后法官以缺乏证据证明丁林葳知晓其行为会惠及中国政府为由，推翻了全部7项经济间谍指控，保留7项盗窃罪名，刑期为12个月减1天。

The US sanctioned 5 Chinese entities tied to ex-Google engineer Linwei Ding, including the investor behind his startup.
Ding founded Shanghai Zhisuan Technology in 2023 to build software that speeds up machine learning training on supercomputing chips.
He applied to MiraclePlus, a Beijing incubator, claiming Zhisuan could replicate Google’s AI infrastructure, and MiraclePlus then took equity for seed capital.
The stolen material centred on how Google turns thousands of TPU and GPU chips into supercomputers, which matters more in China because export controls make efficient use of scarce chips one of the hardest problems in training large models.
Ding marketed that knowledge directly: in a Shanghai talent programme application he said his product would give China computing power infrastructure on par with the international level, and he later told MiraclePlus investors Zhisuan could adapt Google’s technology to China’s national conditions.
The designated entities face asset freezes, bans on transactions with US persons, and limits on financial services and foreign exchange licences.
The criminal case shrank after trial, because the judge overturned all 7 economic espionage counts for lack of evidence that Ding knew his conduct would benefit the Chinese government, leaving 7 theft convictions and a sentence of 12 months minus 1 day.
