Here’s a follow-up to my story on Symantec Corp.’s problems in China. It looks at how the U.S. IT industry is handing over sensitive technologies to the oppressive Chinese regime in return for access to the Chinese market. It also looks at China’s growing economic espionage program targeting U.S. corporate and military technology secrets.

While I don’t name names (simply because the list is so long I would invariably leave somebody out and not hear the end of it from those companies I included), the reality is that America’s leading IT companies are pumping billions of dollars into China in the form of research and development centers where the Chinese intelligence services are having a field day ripping America off.
