Very, very often, when the Chicoms allow a factory to be built, they build another factory, exactly the same, right next to it. Then, they just replicate it, down to the last nut and bolt. While it is true that they do a large amount of espionage to obtain plans and methods, they also do the above. A foreigner building a factory has no choice, other than not getting in bed with the Chicoms in the first place.
“We will sell them the rope that we will hang them with” on steroids.
