A friend of mine is a scientist in a relevant field, and has caught Chinese PhD students photographing documents in one case, and taking a video recording of a sensitive part of a laboratory in another case. In both cases, what they were recording was not related to their own work.
Not everything is published openly. Some research is kept quiet until the economic value has been realized, and sometimes the "what" is published but not so much the "how".
- namelessoracle 5y agoThis happens so often and so frequently that it makes me wonder if there is some official part of the Chinese government set up to consume and distribute this information. I mean if an American went to a prestigious university or worked a job where they got access to sensitive information for a random company like lets say Ferrari. They wouldnt immediately know who to sell this info too or have a buyer. But it seems like we hear constant stories in such a way that makes me think they were already briefed on who to tell and get this info too. Idk, maybe im being naive, maybe the CIA sends emails or reaches out to American nationals who work on sensitive projects.
