Chinese National Stole Ford Secrets Worth More Than $50 Million | threatpost

I still dunno how Ford could value some of it’s stuff at nearly $100 million, but what do I know.

Isn’t the first time it’s happened either. Maybe, given the economic ramifications, it’s time that the first world dealt with workers a little differently. Leaving for a job overseas, companies should be notified, and allowed to at least keep shit secure. I honestly don’t know what to do, without taking away our vital rights. But we need every advantage we can get, and letting shit slip away to rival nations is just stupid.

Doesn’t China have drones now too?

3

they have like 35 different UAV’s, including a chopper. But then again, who knows what the US is hiding…

4

man how crappy are chinese cars that they’re stealing secrets from ford

5

:lol: seriously

They are in for quite the surprise when their cars start falling apart and breaking down.

6

You do realize in the last couple years Ford has re-established itself as one of the top American car companies right?

China steals everything this is nothing new. Google has been on a witch hunt for like the last 5 years trying to figure out who are the moles in their company. The ones they have found so far just happen to be Chinese (I’m not sure how many, but I’ve heard of 2)… go figure.

Ford was the only vehicle manufacture domestically that didn’t need financial assistance (stimulus) from the government, maybe that’s why?

I remember my math teacher lecturing the class about how the argument that so many asians and chinese immigrants should not be allowed in college is because the white people don’t get a chance and that asian’s will return back to their countries was wrong.

This was in '96 mind you, and I am all against racism and everything but damn lol, if the last 10 years haven’t been ironic

10

Have the chinese done anything positive honestly (or both) in the past 60 years?

11

Yeah, they built probably 50% of the shit you, me, and everyone in this thread owns.

The Ford hate is tricky. Ford has only been hot the past two years. When these secrets were being stolen, not so much.

BUT

You all forget that Ford owned Land Rover, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Volvo, and Mazda. Technology was shared so it’s not like what Ford had was all junk. Especially between Mazda and Volvo. And also, a new car isn’t presented to the public and and immediately sold the next day. This ain’t Apple. Automobiles gotta cook in the lab longer for few years.

And China’s safety record iirc isn’t that great when it comes to cars. Building a car from scratch isn’t as easy as it sounds. China might steal or trade with us to get better technology but eventually they’ll come into their own.

Is it really racist, telling a country with THAT MANY PEOPLE that it can’t just allow its citizens to bum rush colleges/universities/businesses. It’s not a white kid thing, its starting to be a trust thing.

How long until businesses seriously stop hiring chinese nationals? Some countries have already started increasing fee’s to asian students studying in their country, or flat out putting limits on the amount.

Meh, this just saved the company the costs of having to reverse engineer some shit.

Sweatshops aren’t honest. It’s damn near child slavery.

14

And what’s sad is thats the reason why the country is dominating the world. Slave Labor is making them more powerful.
