In 2019 the Chinese covered up the early spread of COVID then later repeatedly stonewalled anyone doing serious research into the disease's origin. By letting COVID spread for months unchecked the Chinese effectively ensured that there was no way to stop this thing from going global, which it did, ultimately killing over 5M people and counting. If we're unwilling to hold the Chinese to account for that in any meaningful way, I can't imagine we're going to do anything whatsoever about a little (or even a lot of) industrial espionage. We'll gladly let the Chinese run roughshod over us and humiliate us repeatedly if it means we can still by our iPhones on the cheap.
