Governments spy on other nations businesses, then pass the information back to their companies who process to undercut the competition (because they have all the information)

Here's China doing it to America http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/china-business/10842339/A...

'According to the indictment, five hackers “stole trade secrets” which allowed Chinese companies to undercut their American competitors, or gave them “insight into [their] strategy and vulnerabilities”. '

And here's America doing it to everyone else (including allies both domestic and foreign) https://theintercept.com/2014/09/05/us-governments-plans-use...
