More Chinese Economic Espionage in Canada?

From Canada.com, a story about economic espionage and theft of trade secrets from Canadian jet manufacturer, Bombardier.

Canadian newspapers have reported this week that foreign technicians were caught stealing trade secrets at one of Bombardier's Montreal plants last year. According to Canada.com, reports said that Chinese technicians were especially interested in computer files at one of the jet-assembly plants and that Bombardier tried to keep the incident under wraps.

Another Canadian paper, the Journal de Montreal also reported that Bombardier negotiators found out they were being spied on during a recent trip to China.

Bombardier, for its part, isn't commenting.
