In strict adherence to Article 219-1 of the Criminal Law, the procuratorial authorities have been actively cracking down on the illegal transmission of trade secrets to foreign entities. A notable case handled by the Zhejiang procuratorial organs exemplifies this effort: Zhang, a former staff member of a well-known semiconductor company, breached the confidentiality agreement following his departure from the firm. Acting under the instructions of an overseas organization, he unlawfully divulged his ex-employer's trade secrets. Consequently, Zhang received a sentence of fixed-term imprisonment along with a fine.
