Hiring people isn't espionage. Key talent leaving a dominant manufacturer for a paycheck at a struggling competitor and bringing their knowledge is just about the basis of capitalism.

Context is important here. China is the ENEMY of Taiwan state(as the last Enclave of communist resistance of old white China).

The USA has an act for it: Trading with the enemy etc etc

For different reasons you can't also just hire Iranian citizens straight into Los Alamos or wherever you are making plutonium nowadays.

National security > profits
