Why? because whoever is doing it sees the opportunity.

Our state department and government are weak right now. They are understaffed, and the chances of serious investigation/prevention on this don't seem high.

Why, if you could test out a brand new technology AND eliminate some key foreign service officers from your main competitor geopolitically, why wouldn't you?

This is a crime of opportunity.
