I find these attempts to distinguish between different state sponsored criminals to be a diversion and subterfuge. Whether China or the US re-allocates your IP, you can expect a competing product made in China. That you might have a relationship with one of them probably doesn't change anything unless they actually think your firm is the best one for the job of maximizing the results on their tax base. I mean maybe I'm wrong; would it make any sense that these Republics take private corporate property more seriously other parts of their Constitutions they have violated at least until caught? The US makes the claim China does not and former president and CIA head George Bush floated corporate espionage as THE plan for handling the absurd costs of "intelligence" criminals after the cold war.. I'm always astounded that working in a competitive market seems to blind people to significant stated facts of the environment their market is operating in. In nature, it might make sense to just outrun the weakest, after all, a bear has a limited appetite. But superpowers have unlimited apetites and will collapse like the USSR if they should ever expand slower than cancer.
