  This is interesting and.. quite different in one very important key way: "Are the Japanese picking our brains?'' a congressional staffer asks. ''Yes. They're doing it very well. They're doing it legally. The question is whether we have a two-way street"

    The Japanese were also accused of and successfully trailed for industrial espionage.

      If they were successfully trialed, that means they weren't doing it well enough. They got caught. Every nation does that. US likely does it less than most others, primarily because others have more to catch up.
