Fei-Ling WangSam Nunn School of International Relations Professor Fei-Ling Wang was quoted in the article "Coke ex-employee with China ties faces trade secret theft charge," published Jan. 17, 2020 in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The case covered by the article, in which a former Coca-Cola engineer has been charged with taking confidential documents from the company, could raise implications and questions about international law governing trade secrets, particularly in commerce between the U.S. and China. Wang offered his thoughts on the subject.
Excerpt:
Yet some longtime observers question if the deal changes much because they doubt the willingness of China’s government to fix the issue.
“Meaningful mechanisms are not going to be accepted” by political leaders in China, predicted Fei-Ling Wang, a Georgia Tech professor of international affairs. “There will be great promises but the promises are likely to be, at best, partially implemented.”
