we ought to think about building more things that aren't designed to kill people.
An attack copter? So...China is rapidly developing 1960's technology?
Jimminy crickets! China has invented some kind of flying machine!

Especially for china
is it only considered treason if a government provides the technology transfer?
The technology I work on has such restrictions. Similar things happened in India, they refused to sign a end user agreement to not make weapons technology with it. There was also a machine I know about, always wondered about contacting BIS about it.

And what is UTC's punishment for supplying China with military technology?
answer: a slap on the wrist
I would prefer that China not gain this technology.
In most of Earth's modern wars the US has armed both sides. It is all about profits.

United Technologies is a GLOBAL company, not an AMERICAN company. If they were an American company they would be so over-taxed that they would have gone out of business before selling weapons technology to the country that makes all our stuff.
It's that damn free market thingy.
United Technologies Corporation (UTC) (NYSE: UTX) is an American multinational conglomerate headquartered in the United Technologies Building in Hartford, Connecticut.
they are based in america, it doesn't matter if they are a global company it matters where they are headquartered. there should be bigger punishments for supplying an enemy with military technology, it doesn't matter what quality/how old the technology is. it's the precedent.
I'm embarrassed to say that I don't recognize my own quote. Too many pain meds. Maybe I was being sarcastic.
I guess it's just that greed issue.
