This already happens in the US with software and hardware that is essential for national security.
How is that any strange that China wants to do the same?.
The job of the NSA is spying other countries, obviously China does not want other countries controlling their basic infrastructure.
Of course, having the source code means in a couple of years there will be a Chinese company creating the same hardware or software, and with lots of "coincidences" in the code code.
It is not very different to what Americans did with the British.
I have lived and worked in China, I speak Mandarin. There any Chinese commercial companies have to go to meeting with other Chinese companies, so THEY CAN COPY YOU!!
Any commercial company operating in China needs to have 51% Chinese participation. As a western well trained person, if you work there in 49% partnership with a foreign company, they could offer you millions of dollars for making a 100% Chinese company competitor.
The west should start demanding reciprocity to China in lots of ways.
