What can be done about this is banning companies from selling out to China in the first place and strengthening patent laws globally. China does not participate in the free market, it just abuses it. Selling off Kuka should‘ve never been allowed. We know China would never allow a sellout of key technologies either.
Yeah, but you get into pretty slippery questions about what “selling out to China” means. It’s not like the Chinese government comes straight to you and says “hi”. Some random corporation could be owned by companies that are owned by companies that have their strings pulled by whoever.
Really, if you want to stunt China’s progress, you cut off access to universities and experts by Chinese nationals, and cut off export of specific physical goods. Something like this has been done with the most advanced semiconductors, already.
