> TL; DR Founder appears to be a serial liar per court decisions in China and Canada. He stole anti-drone technology from a Canadian company and gave it to China.

You never stop with the anti-china propaganda.

'The two met when working in the Beijing office of Fortinet, a cybersecurity firm. Both transferred to Fortinet’s Vancouver office and became good friends. After Liu left the company in 2016 to form SkyCope and work on developing anti-drone technology, Jia joined him months later as SkyCope’s chief technology officer.'

It is one chinese guy stealing from another chinese guy.

I am a China hawk. But nothing here implicates the CCP.

One, their ethnicity and even nationality are irrelevant.

Two, that was already adjudicated. This action is about one person--with adverse court records in two countries--stealing defence technology and "selling" it to a company he controls in China. The stealing was a civil matter. The exfiltration is a national-security one.

You are also 'american' too right?

> But nothing here implicates the CCP.

Yet you wrote: "He stole anti-drone technology from a Canadian company and gave it to China."

> One, their ethnicity and even nationality are irrelevant.

Sure it does. Why else would you have written : "... and gave it to China."

It's amazing how certain kinds of 'hellish flamebait' are allowed by dang.

> You are also 'american' too right

This happens in Canada.

> Why else would you have written : "... and gave it to China."

Because he gave it to China! If I transfer military technology from idk Russia to my American company, I gave that kit to America. Whether I’m American is irrelevant. (And that action per se doesn’t mean I coördinated with the CIA.)

Countries can use agents of backgrounds other than their dominant one. Not every Russian spy is of a Russian ethnicity.
