6)    Instead of being tricked, Alstom, Siemens, and their rivals Bombardier Inc. and Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. agreed to hand over some of their most precious intellectual property with their eyes wide open.  The vast majority of the trains sold under the 2004 and 2005 contracts were built in China, with explicit technology transfer terms written into the agreements to allow that. Alstom, for what it’s worth, has long criticized Siemens and Kawasaki for including their most innovative high-speed rail know-how in those deals.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/alstom-and-siemens-show-how-not-to-deal-with-china/2019/02/06/7f32e9d6-2a05-11e9-906e-9d55b6451eb4_story.html?utm_term=.d0b28cb335cb

Joe Kaeser, chief executive of German technology and engineering giant Siemens, come after a string of Chinese acquisitions of European technology companies, including UK chipmaker Imagination Technologies and Arm Holdings.  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/12/21/siemens-boss-warns-chinese-investor-tactics-foreign-takeovers/

   Rubio (R-FL), the chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, faulted CEOs for focusing too much on the next quarter and not enough on the next generation....“What it's resulted in is that you can become a very profitable company that returns a lot of money to shareholders by taking your productive capacity and sending it to China or by turning over your intellectual property because they're allowing you market access, which is generating new revenue,”Rubio added.  “That's great for the short- to mid-term. Your stock performance can be very good.  Your shareholders are going to be very happy.  But it's devastating for American workers, and in the long term it's devastating for America....At its core this is very simple:  China is allowed to do anything they want in our economy and in Western economies, but our firms are allowed to do very little of anything and pay a tremendous price over there.”

  it’s “noteworthy that some of Google’s current and potential partners in China, including Fudan University and Tsinghua University, are involved in and committed to this national strategy of military-civil fusion,” Kania says....Other U.S. tech giants such as Amazon, Apple, IBM, and Microsoft all operate research centers in China that include projects focused on developing AI applications or cultivating local Chinese engineering talent.

13)    US-based Motorola's presence in China dates back to the late 1980s when, Motorola established a representative office in Beijing in 1987. It exported telecommunications gear and semiconductors to China and employed around 600 people to market its products.  With increasing competition and production costs, Motorola decided to shift some of its manufacturing activities to China.  In 1992, Motorola established Motorola (China) Electronics Ltd. and opened a manufacturing facility at Tianjin city in North China. Initially, Motorola manufactured pagers, semiconductors, two-way radios and automobile electronics in China.    http://www.icmrindia.org/casestudies/catalogue/Business%20Strategy2/Motorola-in-China.htm

16)      (Source: South China Morning Post; published Nov 01, 2018)    A British defence company has been given the green light to supply an unlimited quantity of goods to China’s military, including airborne radar technology likely to be used by the PLA Air Force. 

Although the supplier has not been named, the “open individual export licence” (OIEL) has been in place since April – two months after British Prime Minister Theresa May visited Beijing – according to information from Britain’s Department for International Trade.  http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/release/3/197275/britain-to-sell-china-‘unlimited’-amount-of-military-radars-technology.html

It provides on-the-ground insight and experience working in China’s rapidly-changing research and innovation landscape, and boosts the visibility of UK excellence in science and innovation in a highly competitive market through coordinated outreach and stakeholder engagement.  Over a third of UK research and innovation investment in China has been brokered through the UKRI China office since its establishment in 2007.  https://www.ukri.org/research/international/ukri-international-offices/ukri-china/

18)     11-28-18    Chinese scientists have made no secret of their ambitions to one day eclipse GPS in both technical precision and international sway.  Eventually, BeiDou’s global network will have 35 satellites in orbit, with the highest ratio over the Asia Pacific region for greater accuracy. 

  “China’s BeiDou is the world’s BeiDou, and the global satellite navigation market is certainly BeiDou’s market,” Yang Changfeng, the system’s chief engineer, told state media last year. 

  BeiDou’s engineers are looking to best the US in the dimension of time as well. Beyond positioning and navigation, GPS satellites currently set international time and frequency standards. …

  China’s rapidly modernising military, the People’s Liberation Army, also relies on BeiDou. Both GPS and BeiDou contain at least two signal channels. One for commercial use is capable of fixing a location for civilian users precise to 2.5m to 5m; a separate channel several times more exact is reserved exclusively for state and military use, whose encryption codes can be given to allies for use in times of emergency. 

  For decades, the technical superiority of GPS gave the US unrivalled capabilities in global mapping and location services, expertise it sometimes extends to a small number of Nato allies. China has been exploring a similar arrangement by offering to build ground-equipment bases in Pakistan and south-east Asian nations in exchange for a higher-precision BeiDou service to military and government users there.   https://www.ft.com/content/3c2ca48e-f2eb-11e8-ae55-df4bf40f9d0d

20)    Agencies of the Chinese national government support science and technology research, including research conducted by U.S. citizens in collaboration with Chinese researchers.  Most of UK’s partners in China wish to promote collaborations with the United States and would welcome the development of joint projects eligible for Chinese government funding.

  Chinese government support is available for short-term visits, workshops and seminars, and research activities. Research is expected to take place in China.  Grants ordinarily cannot be used to support activities in the United States.    https://international.uky.edu/OCI/Faculty/Research
