I'm sorry, this sounds like "WMDs in Iraq" all over again.

Not really, it was a conscious decision by most Western companies to go and produce in China. Fully aware that they will (voluntarily and via ip theft) transfer knowledge, they still chose to do it because the profit margins were so enormous. The Chinese actually hacking and siphoning off IP is relatively new, something that previously was the NSA's monopoly.

Are you suggesting the EU should go into a full out trade war with the US to convince them to stop the spying?
