FBI has 1,000 investigations into Chinese intellectual property theft, director Christopher Wray says, calling China the most severe counter-intelligence threat to US

--

Arrests of people involved in Chinese operations to steal US corporate secrets have risen sharply in recent years

Washington says problem is exacerbated by ‘Thousand Talents’ programme, which rewards Chinese professionals overseas who bring technology back to China

--

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has nearly 1,000 investigations open into economic espionage and attempted intellectual property theft, nearly all of them leading back to China, FBI director Christopher Wray said on Tuesday. “There is no country that poses a more severe counter-intelligence threat to this country right now than China … and I don’t say it lightly,” Wray told the US Senate Judiciary Committee.

[Honest Nigerian]

FBI is on the case. Well that will have the Chinese laughing. After all, the FBI could not find their own ass with two hands and a map.
But they will do better ...... next time.

What % was sold to the Chinese by both Clintons, and then reported as stolen?

[BradyLS]

Are the FBI trying to find out what they’re doing so they can assist them?

These days, it would ‘t surprise me.

[laplata]

Whoever is in charge has possibly been compromised or bought off so the Chinese will just carry on as usual.

I hate that I’ve become so cynical.

[A strike]

So Communist China is our enemy ?!!!?

You asked me this exact same question in another thread.

I do not know. I lived in China shortly after they opened to our nation, a long time ago now.

Then I lived in Taiwan.

Back then, I thought the relations between the two countries would be fabulous.

Now I am no longer certain.

The exact wrong people have been driving American policies, now for nearly thirty years.

We have completely sold out American industry. All of it.

We don’t make anything here anymore.

We buy it all. Far, far, far too much, is bought from China.

I voted for Trump because he seemed to understand this.

I sure hope he does, because we are creating our own most terrible potential enemy.

Trump, you seemed to understand. The first president, in either party, who got it.

The first guy since H Ross Perot.

Did you?

Do you still?

[A strike]

Thanks but it wasn’t really a question.

[cba123]

Sure it is.

Do you?

[magooey]

If you have been on the STEM university job market for the last 4-5 years and have checked out Chinese institutions, you may know that there are a dozen or more Thousand Talents programs over there. They are willing to pay real money to hire very good international researchers that teach science in English. Their salary levels can attract top level STEM scholars. If the science is created in China, exactly what do you intend to do about it?

[Zathras]

It probably just the FBI saving Hollywood from illegal DVD copying.
Real hight tech IP theft is way above their IQ pay grade.

[A strike]

No, it wasn’t.

Yes.
