......and there have been many incidents of the theft of military technology through commercial or research channels

And Presidential ones too.

The Red Chinese don't need to risk stealing anything when the Clintons will sell it to them for a kickback.

"And Presidential ones [theft of military technology] too."

Is it ANY coincidence that since the Presidency of one Bill Clinton, highlighted by his posing with Chinese "businessmen," China has exploded out of nowhere to become a space, military, economic, and technology "leader"?

And on the issue of China's "chipping away at US national security," shall we mention Jimmy Carter's giving away the Panama Canal to the Chinese?
