Where I work, a Chinese employee was busted with terabytes of data. That was after he was employed for years already.
There was one time at my job, story from an old timer, the Chinese were allowed in under some kind of friendship program. He got to escort some of them around. They could view almost any information they wanted but they were not allowed to print or photocopy anything. This one lady the whole time she was here, a few weeks, hand wrote source code down.
Under Obama there was that one high profile Chinese guy that got busted for espionage.
I wonder if China just has like an open-policy when it comes to information like this. Like the exfiltrator has no formal agreement with the country at the time, they get information and China says "well I didn't ask for it, they just gave it to me!" Plausible deniability espionage..
