I had this feeling for a long time...

That most espionage in standard corporate klectopcracy switched directions (globally considered) at an arbitrary point in time in the last decade.

BMW e.g. tried to build a R & D division in China when they expanded there in the first decade of this millenium. But they brought this division back to Germany in less than two years. They kept a lid on this failed endeavor but I always suspected this happened because of espionage. (Which is extremely fast for their usual modus operandi, tbh)

Nowadays US spies steal Chinese intellectual "property" they themselves pirated together from all over the world. To implement it in US. Like Siemens developing the frictionless maglev train but German bobbleheads are too fucking stupid to spend a dime on it. China then gratefully built it in Shanghai.

Isn't this at least a little bit ironic ?

Maybe in the next decade (let's assume the thirties) US kids built smartphones for rich and fat Chinese people in some sweatshop. Instead of vice versa, like it happens right now. After they sold Apple for parts because the dollar is worth less than toilet paper. Which is a possible scenario. If they don't want to, well :

They always can starve voluntarily, can't they ?

Somebody should take down the statue of liberty, finally. It was a lie to begin with.

You can't tell me anyone actually wants all the crooks, cons and hipocrites invading "his" country.

There was a justifiable reason German Nazis forced those people to wear a visible sign as long as they could hold their reign in Europe. Their arguments for this were bs mostly, but it was justifiable at least so far that most citizens actually followed them on this voluntarily. Otherwise they never could have pulled off their legal(very sad, nonetheless) powergrab in Germany.
