Description
A gripping true story of industrial espionage and counterintelligence, in which a Chinese-born scientist is pursued by the US government for trying to steal trade secrets. Mara Hvistendahl's account of this two-year FBI operation sheds light on the global rivalry between corporate giants and Chinese companies. The investigation began with a simple trespassing inquiry, but quickly escalated into a complex web of surveillance and counter-surveillance. Through previously unreleased FBI files and her reporting from across the United States and China, Hvistendahl reveals a long history of shoddy counterintelligence on China, often tinged with racism. This book is an important exploration of the issues at stake in industrial espionage cases brought by the US government, and raises questions about corporate influence and trade secrets theft.
