Do as I say ...

"... we reinforce a norm that most of the civilized world accepts: nation-states should not steal intellectual property for the purpose of giving domestic industries a competitive advantage,"

By stealing European IP (and still does to some extent, e.g. see the the theft of Airbus IP by American intelligence).
