I worked for one of the largest Corporations in technology back in 2005. We opened a facility in China for manufacturing and another smallish one for R&D. Our corporate network was constantly probed from these locations. There were several attempts to access financial data and other sensitive areas of our network. Whenever ever we brought the perpetrators forward to explain their actions, they immediately resigned without saying a word (would just walk out). Even the factory managers would remain quiet. It came to our attention many of the employees were part of the PLA, planted on the inside. I believe it is impossible to operate a facility in China without having the PLA operatives on the inside. It's part of the risk companies take to do business in China.
