China is unique in their institutional use of criminal IP theft as a state strategy to catch up and eventually surpass the United States.

Are they? As a Canadian I'm quite ashamed of the hacking my goverment did in regards to Brazil. I'd presume Brazil is one of many.

But that was not to rip off their technology. Not similar to what China is doing at all.

I’m not making a moral judgment about which is worse, just pointing out that they are very different activities and outcomes.

We started with IP and now we're saying tech? Isn't IP IP, from a schematic, to a internal price list, or an org chart? Surly hacking to get ahead is hacking to get ahead, irrispective of industry.
