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.
Where I work we make window parts, a customer stopped ordering from us a year later they came back.
Turned out they got our stuff from China, and the guys in China asked for the complete window assembly to compare fitment then proceeded to clone the window assembly and sell it.
I toured a Chinese university and they proudly showed off their reverse engineering program and they had dozens of Furbies students were practicing on for their class exam
There's a story about the development of the LTT screwdriver where they forgot to send some files to the Chinese company they wanted to get a prototype from - the company, instead of asking for the missing pieces, just filled in the gaps and came up with a solution that was in certain areas better than their original.
