Chinese-U.S. Spy Wars in Silicon Valley

Matt Marshall writes on VetntureBeat:

FBI investigators want to charge two men for spying in Silicon Valley to benefit China, and they say it is just the tip of a massive effort by the Chinese government to set up front companies to do this sort of thing.

In the latest case, they say Lan Lee, an American citizen, and Yoefei Ge, a Chinese national, stole chip designs and software from their employers NetLogic Microsystems of Mountain View and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. in San Jose, and planned to go into business with the Chinese government.
