>>So... does that mean wholesale theft of IP is now officially governmentally sanctioned?
It's been unofficially sanctioned by the US government for decades. Importing postdocs from China, India, Israel etc is much cheaper paying American scientists a living wage. Of course, the FBI knew that many of them getting into high-tech research universities were spies, but no one did anything about it.
>> ''China's typical modus operandi is to steal American IP, replicate it, replace the U.S. company originating that IP in the Chinese domestic market, then displace the United States in the global market.''
People said that about the US when the UK was the most powerful country in the world. The US said it about Japan in the 1980's. It's a smart playbook, no wonder China is following it.
