This is really interesting not just from the security angle.
I read http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Samaritans-Secret-History-Capitalism/dp/1596915986 http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Samaritans-Secret-History-Capitali... this book recently. It talks about how South Korea became an technological powerhouse so quickly compared to their neighbors.
China could be using the security fears, and protectionism to create their own version of silicon valley.
It wouldn't really surprise me, as some US cities like Boston are trying to create their own silicon valley styled area's http://www.technologyreview.com/view/516586/crowding-into-biotechs-densest-supercluster/ http://www.technologyreview.com/view/516586/crowding-into-bi....

- MollyR 12y agoOh cool. I've read articles fairly recently that seems to pitch Boston as the Silicon Valley of the East Coast or trying to compete with Silicon Valley for startups/talent. Do you have thoughts about that, I'd like to hear them.
