The assumption that any country, especially the successful ones, plays “fair” is ludicrous. IIRC the CIA (or was it NSA?) was giving state-gathered intel to American arms And aerospace manufacturers in the 1980s so that they could outbid European rivals. The Chinese might be playing by different rules than those “established” over the last few decades by the west; but no one is playing “fair”. |
