The Fuzhye Engine Law Story
A US firm called Micron, which produces memory chips and had a facility in Taiwan, actually began stealing internal documents with the aim of quitting. This is a type of chip that Chinese firms have never produced at the cutting edge before. There's very clear evidence, for example, of some of the employees in question typing into their computers, delete Google search records to try to cover their tracks. So there wasn't much ambiguity as to what was going on. And I think in prior instances, this would have produced the legal dispute or diplomatic discussions. But the legal mechanism simply didn't work.
