Fixed that for you.
My brother, who used to live in Silicon Valley, tells how it is done. Employee turnover in the high-tech business is high, and Chinese front organizations put classified ads touting some new high-tech company. People are interviewed and they are talked into leaking proprietary knowledge. To be sure, there is no company and no job, but the interviewer is real and so is the proprietary information. Both return to China. The dummy corporations look like start-up companies commonplace in the industry.
