Totally agree. I think it's sometimes surprising and/or unbelievable to people without experience of China that their history/culture/politics is so exclusive and that people would behave this way. Most of the high speed train network was built on foreign technology and expertise, but contractors I knew working on that project regularly had their apartments broken into (with nothing taken but the laptop) and half of their job was trying to stop their chinese counterparts stealing their IP (anecdotally of course). This kind of activity has been a mainstay of the China miracle the last 30-40 years
