I would expect a high tech Co like Telefunken to have all their CNC data on their servers and we know how good the Chinese are at hacking other people's data! Thus they might just be able to dump the design info straight into their CNC machines and 3D printers?
Handbooks would of course be a doddle! It would seem "The Rest of the World" is just one big technical resource to China?

It's as good as it is, for as long as it lasts.
There is no such thing as intellectual property in CN. If any of the parts are made in CN, they don't have to hack anything. The info is already there and available.

Oddly, they do actually have copyright legislation. They just routinely ignore it. I had a few useful products, then tried to order more and they had crossed a line, breaking one of their own laws. Our frequencies in the UK happen to be used by their military. The factory was banned from producing any more.
If anyone supplies the factory in china with a CNC file, its not considered private. Same with injection moulding. If the manufacturer makes 1000 products for a customer, and another customer wants the same thing, they make them. Motorola and Icom, both companies based in other countries have products made in china. Once the models are discontinued, they expect the plants to stop making them. They dont, or at least, they keep the tooling. Remember those radios that blew up some bad guys? The manufacturers could not tell if they were genuine old ones, or unofficial ones that sell on aliexpress. They got called counterfeit, or fakes, but they are 100% the same product, just being sold direct from the factory who have all the parts. The resl manufacturers struggle to justify ‘fake’, the best is perhaps ‘unauthorised’. Having both, i can actually tell the difference. The colour of the plastic has a slightly different colour, but you need an original to tell!
