Does the Reverse Trojan Horsing ploy also involve a willing party and an enthusiastic counter-party? If so, then perhaps.

In the earlier examples I gave, both Ericsson and VW exchanged some outdated IP for a lot of cash (via willing business) even as both put own futures in some degree of doubts.

However, Gencor (of South Africa) got nothing, did not sell its bio-leach gold technology. But team China today is world leader in bio-leach and Gencor no longer exist.

I suppose if Gencor could dial back the clock it would do different this time and enthusiastically sell what it could and should not have hoped to do, keeping secret its geewhizbangohwhoawee IP of bugs that eat rock and sh*t gold.

The idea of trying to ring-fencing China to any technology is a non-starter, whichever ways.

doubtless you are correct re trojan horses

but, coercion did not come into play in the buying and selling

horse trade did, between willing buyer and enthusiastic seller, the wanabe owner and wanabe erstwhile owner

the selling and buying most likely negatively impact other stakeholders, so the stakeholders must take it up w/ the erstwhile owner, and extract their share

many erstwhile owners live in washington and new york, i reckon

all we are talking about is the share of the pie in so far as tech transfer to china was concerned

had VW / Ericsson not sold, Chrysler / Nokia would have and in truth did
