That was earlier involving Toshiba and Russia.

During the Reagan years, no reflection on the administration, they went after Toshiba and a Norwegian firm involved too, from the top of mny head it was KVF I believe, Konigs Vapen Fabrik (I probably mangled the name, it’s been 30 odd years).

One of the things Clinton did was to dismantle COCOM, a US govt entity called the Coordinating Committee which vetted foreign sales of technology with military applications.

If I recall, in the Toshiba case one firm made the precision milling machinery and the other the software that controlled the processes.
