"....On these computers was information about all of the casework I have done on behalf of political dissidents and human rights activists around the world."
Does science collaboration/espionage endanger people's lives?
The quote you cited was not an example of scientific collaboration or espionage. In this case, yes, the espionage probably endangered someone's life, given China's human rights track record.
I see your point, though, and agree that science collaboration is not harmful. However, I think that the article was mainly focusing on Chinese military advancement, as most of the attacks cited in the article were on our military infrastructure. Again, I would say that a more advanced military will endanger people's lives.
