If you look into the story of American Superconductor, Sanyo Shinkansen, Apple's self driving car project and now, GE..it's all similar.<p>It's their culture, they don't believe in attribution nor fair trade, they're used to growing up in a red ocean. That's the way they are.<p>I work with Chinese companies on a regular basis, I never give them access to my repos, always uglify my JS code, and ensure strict rate limits for anything other than my office's IP address and carefully monitor access logs from their IPs and always implement kill switches in my software. I know what I'm doing isn't going to stop them if they wanted to, but for most part, it keeps them at bay.<p>Just watch out if you work in an industry where your IP is everything.
