It seems people don't read. Are the NSA going after Chinese companies intellectual property and giving them to US businesses?

It goes either way, however it is the USA complaining in this case. I can also be certain that they are being hypocrites under these conditions.

China will retaliate. Expect them to name & shame some CIA staff.

This may be a recent article, but China have always been big on R&D, it is only now that they extend their grasp beyond their borders.

You missed the point, yes they big on R&D, but its far easier when someone else has done most of the groundwork. And this case is largely about steel and nuclear R&D...

They're "sloppy". The problem is that they are actually able to get into places other than just the honeypots. The very real problem is their targeting of infrastructure.

Exposé of Chinese Data Thieves Reveals Sloppy Tactics

APT1 is part of Unit 61398 of the Chinese army, and is engaged in a campaign to perform industrial espionage to aid Chinese companies and gather intelligence that could be used for computer-based attacks against U.S. energy infrastructure. Most victims were in the U.S. but companies in Canada, the U.K., South Africa, and Israel were also targeted.
