“With the release of the indictment and accompanying statement of facts, we can now say that there’s nothing novel or weak about this case…. Whatever happens next, one thing is clear: Mr. Trump cannot persuasively argue he is being singled out for some unprecedented theory of prosecution. He is being treated as any other New Yorker would be with similar evidence against him.”

China is responsible for “the most aggressive effort by any country to steal secrets from some of the most prominent and successful American companies.” Despite the indictment of five PLA members, China’s massive economic espionage continues. “China, as a rising economic power, believes that ferreting out the business secrets of foreign companies is a national security interest. One day, however, it will have its own pathbreaking achievements and will want to protect them.”
