Why? That's the proven strategy to leapfrog yourself into a developed economy. It's what the US, Germany, and Japan all did.
The US, Germany, and Japan are all technology leaders. None of those nations leapfrogged into a developed nation by copying others.

I found it interesting that the espionage is largely aimed at the private sector and not the government: > About 70 percent of China’s overall espionage is aimed at the U.S. private sector, rather than the government, said Joshua Skule, the head of the FBI’s intelligence division, which is charged with countering foreign espionage in the United States. > “They are conducting economic espionage at a rate that is unpar…
> The complainant alleges that some months ago a person called Mark Thomas called his father on his phone number 033434443 from a number in the UK 0044-7451722 and offered him a job at the Strategic Solutions Consultancy firm.
> It now transpires that Lt Col Zahir had put up his bio-data on LinkedIn and some other websites seeking a job opportunity three years after he retired from the Pakistan army.
In short, LinkedIn's data is very, very valuable.

Think of a scenario where certain government employees have accounts on some Private sector service: Maybe a Grindr or Tinder -- if they can work to obtain any sort of compromising information from those services - they can then use it to manipulate government employees ("Do what I say, or i'll out you")... In fact, pretty sure a Chinese co. recently obtained controlling interest of Grindr. https://www.nytimes.com/20…
We can inoculate ourselves to this threat by not caring about what politicians, government workers, and other people in general do in their private romantic lives.

There are so many unintended consequences of the internet as we know it today. This, fake news, forums that close because their moderators don't want to cope with the terrible stuff, and on and on.

I remember the internet in 90s being full of spam, popups that would crash your computer and viruses everywhere. Even before mass adoption it was still a cesspool. I am envious of anyone who got to experience the internet in its infancy

Being familiar with a machine, and taking that knowledge elsewhere seems qualitatively different from wholesale copying of documents and blueprints.
Textile mills at the time were the modern day equivalent of semiconductor foundries. I dare you to try something like that today and see what happens to you.
