Interesting--is this a euphemism ingrained in industries, or is this explicitly defined somewhere? I just searched for some articles (limited, using Google translate), and the articles mainly glorify research work, and sometimes talk about reverse engineering. The latter is a gray area, and maybe I'm missing the point, but these articles are along the lines of, "We've broken through the technical blockade on satellite positioning with our own Beidou system!" and not, "Hooray, we broke the evil western monopoly by stealing their technology!" http://news.baidu.com/ns?word=打破技术封锁 http://news.baidu.com/ns?word=打破技术封锁
