True. However, I have this unfounded assumption that prosecuting reverse engineers is not high on their list of priorities.

On the other hand, messing with the state seems like a bad idea.

In fact reverse engineering is probably a strategic mission for them so I wouldn't expect China to criminalize it or anything close.

The Soviets were famous for cloning a WWII bomber (B-29) based on just 3 samples that had emergency landed in Soviet territory during WWII.
