There is a reason Google, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft act like Chinese companies -- because they are. Well, technically, MSFT is Indian, but might as well be. My point? Well, in Asia, intellectual property rights don't exist. Neither does the Right to Privacy.  The two are put together when you have  tech giants (essentially) hacking into computers of designers, programmers, product designers, market researchers, engineers, any of the people with skills we have come to see as part of doing the business of launching  products into the competitive marketplaces of free Capitalist countries, taking that information, (they don't see it as stealing,) and using it to develop their own projects -- which are then taken to China.  Of course we have the Wal-Mart and Target of this world eager to distribute; that is another topic.
