But is this espionage carried out specifically by the Governments of these nations by and large? Or by agents of companies which reside in these countries? I'm not aware in these cases to be honest.
The point being that the difference between companies committing industrial espionage, and a government instituted policy of said behavior, seems vastly different.
- tptacek 13y agoYes, by the governments.
- ItendToDisagree 13y agoThat is pretty interesting and does not surprise me to be totally honest. It doesn't seem like something that any countries' public would likely think is a good thing (rather than a price of doing business/everybody does it so we should sort of deal). But then again, so many policies work in that fashion, it would be ridiculous to think this wouldn't be similar.
