Its aggressive posture toward the Chinese technology equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co. is not one of them.
The State Department's ongoing efforts to persuade foreign nations not to build out their internet infrastructure with Huawei equipment is even sounder.
Founded in 1987 by a former People's Liberation Army engineer, Huawei has long received special treatment from the Chinese government and, likely, subsidies that have allowed it to undercut competitors and become the world's largest maker of internet equipment.
Motorola has accused Huawei of recruiting its workers to pilfer property.
The suit filed by the Justice Department alleges a years-long campaign to reward Huawei workers for acquiring technology by whatever means.
The most troubling aspect of Huawei is not its penchant for pilferage but its potential role in China's global assault on democracy.
If its equipment is widely deployed around the world, the Chinese government would be in a position to eavesdrop, by having Huawei build surveillance devices into its hardware and software.
