Opinion?

"Rong, a senior manager, instructed the other two defendants to wipe any Micron data on their computers before Taiwanese prosecutors raided their workstations, but investigators found a large volume of material from the U.S. company on the devices regardless, according to the court.

The court said Ho had received some NT$5 million from both UMC and Jinhua, while Wang got NT$1.5 million and Rong NT$1.6 million from UMC.

“The defendants’ conduct have led to Micron’s loss of advantage and competitiveness in the market of products connected to the leaked trade secrets and undermined Micron’s interests. This damage is difficult to remedy due to the leak,” the court said in a statement.

Corporate espionage is nothing new and China is playing the game well to catch up.
 
It always looks like one country has an impossible advantage, but that's not the reality. China is going to steal great amounts of tech from the United States because the United States has the tech. Whether it is high-technology manufacturing, advanced software, materials science, or just advanced production methods (an area where Japan used to lead), countries with high tech will always lose technology to countries with lower tech. Our only concern is whether we can innovate new processes faster than we lose current ones.

While we need to slow China's acquisition of our technology our biggest threat is the trade wall that China uses to keep manufacturing on Chinese soil, the trade practices that China uses to keep the balance in China's favor, and our business law which allows US businesses to move 'our' manufacturing and technology overseas without recipient nations paying a tax on it or the goods it produces.
 
I'm confused.

So, these guys were working IN Taiwan, at Micron, and stealing/spying for communist China?
 
There's better ways to depopulate 1.4 billion people than with bullets. I suggest any of the CBRN things.

Them who?
The spies? the company who sent them? the country who sent them? Some might have issues with you trying to shoot 1.4 billion people :)
