> The US federal government maintains a large spying apparatus which has been increased massively after the 2001 terror attacks. They don't just use it for evil terrorists. It has been confirmed multiple times that they perform industrial espionage against companies in western countries, supposed to be allies of the US. The US government then gives the results of the espionage to industrial partners.
Specifically which company has benefited from industrial espionage in a way that can even begin to answer the question posed by the OP?
- est31 7y agoOf course, this is not the sole reason why the US industry is where it is today. It's rather one of many reasons. The effect is much smaller than, say, soviet espionage on US technology was. But here you have some links on US industrial espionage on German companies: https://www.windpowermonthly.com/article/960011/trans-atlantic-espionage-claimed-german-wind-company https://www.windpowermonthly.com/article/960011/trans-atlant... https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/german-firms-fear-industrial-espionage-after-snowden-leaks-a-912624.html https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/german-firms-fe...
- jonnybgood 7y agoThose links don’t give any evidence of industrial espionage on German companies. One even claims those no proof of it.
