>Chinese intelligence giving your competition your I.P. who then operate in your market with cheaper labor.

Well first and foremost I do not accept the concept of IP in the first place, Information is not property and should not be protected.

Nor or they "my competition" they might be cisco, but I do not support nationalism, or protectionism.

Let me Guess, your a Trump Supporter?

How do you get from admitting Chinese use spies to rob American companies of R&D to thinking anyone avoiding that is a Trump supporter? You have a powerful imagination or loose standards of logic to make a leap like that.

More like a company acting in rational self-interest should keep any IP they depend on away from the Chinese. Or expect to be cloned but leverage them and dominate their market as much as possible before displaced by homegrown offering.
