They will steal the dummkopfs blind.

I’m not sure whether it was Leica or Zeiss, but a good 100 years ago German optics engineers transferred a good deal of know-how to the Japanese...well, we all know how that turned out.

The motives of the Chinese today are so obviously similar that it boggles the mind anyone would fall for it. Short term profit for long term destruction? Yeah, now there’s a smart move...

[The Working Man]

Just remember that thwe Chinese only need “one” example of a product to duplicate it. And that goes double for machine tools.

Get the Machine tool once and then use it to make more copies.

U.S. Manufacturers have learned that lesson way to late.

It will go on until the chicoms have stolen everything they need to replace and/or counterfeit the products that generate cash flow for Germany.

[Will88]

But many German industrialists are asking themselves how long the symbiotic relationship can go on, given Beijing's ambition to become a high-tech economy itself.

We can be sure that Chines reverse engineers and assorted copy-catters and counterfeiters are busy reproduceing every machine tool and bit of technology they now purchase from Germany. And there are probably a good number Chinese industrial spies assigned to Germany in various official capacities.

One day people will look back in wonder at the breath-taking stupidity of the West.
