U.S. and Allies Condemn China for Economic Espionage

“In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration and more than a dozen international allies are expected to simultaneously call out Beijing on Thursday for what they say are China’s persistent efforts to steal other countries’ trade secrets and advanced technologies and to compromise sensitive government and corporate computers,” the Washington Post reports.

“The mass condemnation marks a significant effort to hold China to account for its alleged malign acts. It represents a growing consensus that Beijing is flouting international norms of fair play to become the world’s predominant economic and technological power.”
