We are by no means "knee deep" the way the Chinese are. The US isn't maintaining a constant and widespread campaign of industrial espionage and then feeding what they find to our own companies' R&D teams the way China is. If it were merely 'spies spying on spies', we wouldn't be hearing about it. As it is, very little actually gets attributed to China, and instead news agencies seem to pick the safe targets of North Korea and Russia

The crying about Russia has become party politics. There's no putting that cat back in the bag
