What is stopping a sovereign state like China from stealing source code from companies and giving it to its own entrepreneurs? China follows state-run capitalism. It decides who gets what. I'm not just talking trade secrets but rather code bases with millions of lines of code that took hundreds of thousands of person-hours to create and evolve. Also, it would only need to focus all of its resources on cloud infrastructure where companies put all of their eggs in one basket.China won't start from 0 when it can steal and copy.
