Back when I was in uni (was only 5 months ago, but it feels a long time) we had a one day optional seminary held by French counterintelligence at which I participated. He gave us statistics of who (on govermentary level) attacked systems in France the most. First was the US, second Israel, third UK and China was only the fourth...

The most attacked sector was agriculture (competition in genetically modified plants), second was aerospatial companies (Boeing - Airbus competition).

He had declined to say where the french intelligence agency focused its activity...

Statistics can be surprising...
Well, it's a pretty well known "secret" that American and European states sick their intelligence services on each other to gain industrial secret. It's all a game, really.
