Did you read the article? This is the second paragraph: > The FBI reportedly arrested a Chinese national working for Apple the day before he was set to fly back to China with thousands of files on his laptop that contained Apple’s intellectual property. He was reportedly planning to take all the info to one of Apple’s competitors in China. It's pretty accurate to characterize him as a Chinese spy. There's a certain level of competition between countries and it makes sense for Americans to want to keep American-made IP in America. There's nothing wrong with that.
