Here’s What You Need to Remember: The United States has become increasingly aggressive about slowing down or halting China’s industrial espionage efforts.
As the People’s Republic of China (PRC) emerged from war and revolution in 1949, it became apparent that the Chinese economy lacked the capacity to compete with the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. in the production of advanced military technology. Transfers from the Soviet Union helped remedy the gap in the 1950s, as did transfers from the United States and Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. Still, the Cultural Revolution stifled technology and scientific research, leaving the Chinese even farther behind.
Thus, China has long supplemented legitimate transfers and domestic innovation with industrial espionage. In short, the PRC has a well-established habit of pilfering weapons technology from Russia and the United States. As the years have gone by, Beijing’s spies have become ever more skillful and flexible in their approach. Here are five systems that the Chinese have stolen or copied, in whole or in part:

Too late. Horse has long ago left that barn.
Russia sold them most of it.
Thank heavens for FR so we don’t have to suffer that links gauntlet of advertising.
Yes.
They bought it from American politicians with campaign contributions!!!
Yes, if you consider bribery as theft.
They caught Democrat Vice-President Al Gore walking around with two suitcases full of cash from the Chinese.
The response from the press?
“Aw shucks. That’s just Al. Ha! Ha! Ha!”
|No, they bought it, fair and square..................
Alas, I fear you are right.
China has so many soldiers that even without high tech weaponry they are a formidable opponent. So the addition of high tech weaponry essentially makes them unbeatable in a conventional warfare scenario. Which means that any serious conflict with them would quickly degenerate to a nuclear weapons exchange. Survivability calculations then become part of the equation.
Is it really ‘stealing’ when the ‘victim’ holds the door open for you (by voting Democrat)?
This article is at least 40 years too late.
Too late (by 40-years) to worry about locking the barn door...
All the horses are far down the road...
Our elites gave them most of it.
Look at how many Chinese nationals are in every highly rated graduate tech program in US universities.
We’re educating their best and brightest.
The Chinese Communist Party couldn’t invent water ,LOL
I remember that.
Virtually all the electronics and software on their planes and ships has been pirated. Virtually none of it has been combat tested. There is always the sneaky suspicion that somewhere deep within the alogarithms someone, somehow planted a dormant virus that just might be problematic at the worst possible time.
From my experience, you are quite correct.
