Episode notes
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.

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.
