Konnech CEO Eugene Yu's connection to China's National People's Congress & Chinese telecom giants
I meticulously documented everything I found about Eugene Yu for the last six weeks — and now I’m ready to teach New York Times reporters and FBI agents what I found. It’s super simple!
Eugene Yu, the CEO of the U.S. election software company Konnech, was arrested yesterday in connection to the storage of election data on Chinese servers.
He was arrested in Michigan by investigators from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office with assistance from the Meridian Township Police Department.
Investigators allegedly found U.S. poll workers’ information stored on servers in the People’s Republic of China.
The day before Yu’s arrest, the New York Times’ Stuart Thompson published an article entitled, “How a Tiny Elections Company Became a Conspiracy Theory Target.”
Thompson, who covers “misinformation and disinformation,” wrote about how “far-right election deniers” concocted an elaborate “conspiracy theory” that Konnech “had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government backdoor access to personal data.”
Near the end of the article, he dedicated a few sentences to Eugene Yu’s Chinese company, “Jinhua Yulian Network Technology, a subsidiary out of China, where programmers developed and tested software.”
“Konnech closed the subsidiary in 2021 and no longer has employees in China,” he concluded.
Contrary to the New York Times reporter’s lack of curiosity, I found it extremely concerning that Eugene Yu, also known as Jianwei Yu (于建伟), established a Chinese R&D subsidiary in Zhejiang, China, on November 29, 2005.
So I spent the last six weeks meticulously documenting everything that I could find about Jinhua Yulian Network Technology (金华宇联网络科技有限公司) in a series of articles.

New Evidence Suggests Konnech’s Eugene Yu was at the Very Least Affiliated with China’s Largest Election Firm with Direct Ties to US Cities
On April 18, 2012, Konnech Inc filed for a US Patent with the inventors listed as Eugene Yu, Jun Yu, and Guojun Shao. On February 4, 2015, Chen Wei and Guojun Shao filed a patent in China on behalf of Jinhua Konnech Inc.

From the archived Weibo page titled:
