When the People's Liberation Army of China steals commercial Intellectual Property from a nation rich in commercial IP, it's not a credible threat to tell the backward nation of China that we'll steal some of their ancient out-of-date commercial IP as a punishment. No one wants the crap, it has no value. But telling the Chinese leadership their electrical or telecom network might begin to fail due to hacking - well that was a very credible threat which brought Xi to Washington DC to sign the cyber-crime Extradition Treaty. Why an Extradition Treaty? No more deniability. When the PLA next makes the mistake of stealing commercial American IP, whether from America or some other place like Germany, an official request to extradite that PLA military officer to the US for trial and imprisonment under the terms of the treaty is a very easy and convenient lever to escalate this horseshit-behavior to the top level of leadership in China. That's the level of China Inc. where a command of "no" actually means no to all underlings - with significant penalties for not complying.
