SpicyLlama Need to start restricting employment in certain fields by birth country and nationality. This happens too often, both in academia and the private sector – for friends and foe of China alike. Obviously this wouldn't include Taiwan, which is a separate country and differing cultural tendencies. Modern day pirates. Reply
SammyB025 Then who stole cutting edge node tech from TSMC for Intel? And where do you draw the line? Is knowledge learnt and memorized from working at a tech company now corporate property? Are the engineers' (and former engineers) brains themselves company property, if they worked even for a day? Is it now a crime (and not just civil contract violation, if they signed NDAs) for tech workers to ever quit and work for a rival? This is the reason the patent system exists, you know. If something is patented, then there is actual, legal protection. If something is kept as a "trade secret", then there is (at least theoretically) no legal protection from copying, reverse engineering, or from poached workers disclosing that information. Trade secret "theft" is only illegal if another illegal act (e.g. breaking and entering, hacking, etc) was committed to access the trade secret in the first place. The act of disclosure itself is not the illegal part Reply
SkyBill40 If the Chinese want it badly enough, they're going to get it regardless of the means. Corporate espionage and IP theft mean nothing to them and are all part of the engine that drives their mindset. Reply
phead128 Samsung got its advanced nodes by hiring TSMC engineers. Intel just hired a TSMC engineers to steal talent and associates knowledge as well. It's a tale as old as time. Reply
Mfahadshah Well, consumers need cheap RAMs one way or another. If current suppliers can't fulfill market demands then there is no harm in anyone doing so Reply
Balter68 Well good for Korea; when Nortel information went walkies over two decades ago Canada did nothing. Reply
