Panel says Chinese spying is U.S. technology's No. 1 threat
Source: Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - Chinese spying in America represents the greatest threat to U.S. technology, according to a congressional advisory panel report Thursday that recommended lawmakers consider financing counterintelligence efforts meant to stop China from stealing U.S. manufacturing expertise.

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission also said in its annual report to Congress that small- and medium-sized U.S. manufacturers, which represent more than half the manufacturing jobs in America, "face the full brunt of China's unfair trade practices, including currency manipulation and illegal subsidies for Chinese exports."

China's economic policies create a trade relationship that is "severely out of balance" in China's favor, said the commission, which Congress set up in 2000 to investigate and report on U.S.-China issues.

Carolyn Bartholomew, the commission's chairwoman, told reporters that "China's interest in moving toward a free market economy is not just stalling but is actually now reversing course."

1. By accident or by design?
Whose design?

And, if by accident, who forgot to wear the condom? And was that made in China too?

3. This is common for companies that open up shop in china.

I believe the example I was given was Huffy Bikes. They opened up shop in china and the workers gave another chinese company the designs. That company then made the bikes and sold them back to America cheaper than huffy so they put huffy out of business. Apparently that happens all the time. :nopity:

4. karma
American companies were disloyal to us, and their new Chinese wage-slaves are disloyal to them.

Good. No pity from me. Let the hair go with the hide.

6. What is spying?
IBM fired 50,000 Americans and hired 50,000 Indians. Are the Indians spying? same thing with China. US big business has sold out America. They are more traitors than the Chinese are spys. And yes, Congress has let them send our jobs and technology overseas.
