France heads industrial espionage

[Gray_Fox_86]

RANCE is the country that conducts the most industrial espionage on other European countries, even ahead of China and Russia, said leaked US diplomatic cables quoted today by Norway's Aftenposten. "French espionage is so widespread that the damages (it causes) the German economy are larger as a whole than those caused by China or Russia," an undated note from the US embassy in Berlin said, according to a Norwegian translation by Aftenposten.
The Norwegian daily of reference said last month it had obtained all the 250,000 US diplomatic cables WikiLeaks had accessed and would publish stories based on them independently of the whistleblowing website's own releases.
Its article based on leaked cables included an October 2009 comment from Berry Smutny, the head of German satellite company OHB Technology, quoted in the diplomatic note.
"France is the Empire of Evil in terms of technology theft, and Germany knows it," a Norwegian translation of Smutny's comment in the cable read.

This is why they are so effective compare to the rest of the world. Its because they steal everything!

China and Russia are probably more interested in the weapons and military programmes based in the US and if one of the American posters is correct, those two countries have more "suitable" candidates going through US Universities right now to graduate into the US weapons and technology industries to continue the drain.
