> It's just different use cases. That's a hand-wavy redirection that isn't relevant to the issue at hand, which is that: There is no evidence of the US (and, in fact, many other large countries, with exceptions for e.g. Israel) installing backdoors and breaking into computers in order to steal intellectual property. There is ample evidence of China doing exactly that, against a variety of targets (not just the US - they've taken things from Japan and the EU, among many others). I wouldn't be surprised if every nation with a functioning Internet connection tries to put the hac on whatever they can. But that's not the topic under discussions - the topic is stealing and commercializing IP, for which there is tons of evidence for China doing, and accusations of e.g. the Five-Eyes doing it are rampant speculation with absolutely no evidence included. Yes, that includes your comment.
