the cyber-industrial complex

I believe the U.S. government when it says that it doesn't spy on foreign companies in order to help U.S. companies. I also believe that several foreign governments are happy to conduct espionage for some of their own companies.

The latest disclosures concern what the Chinese are doing. As reported in Time magazine, their targets are:

1. Solar power technology

2. Nuclear power plant technology

3. Inside information on U.S. business strategy

4. Data enabling the Chinese to outwit U.S. regulators

It looks pretty smart from their point of view.
