How is that related? Are you actually saying that the US was being unfair to Germany by stepping on their IP? Of all the criticisms of that program I’ve never heard “but won’t somebody think of the Germans” lol.

I mean its still pretty hypocritical - the US is happy to take in literal Nazi war criminals to stay as a super power, yet they start clutching pearls if a developing country tries and poach some talent with IP knowledge.
Not to say I subscribe to the notion of intellectual property, but I would expect military secrets to be treated differently than trade secrets for purposes of IP.
Perhaps that is an American cultural tradition that China is unlikely to respect.
