Though we are mid-way through 2013, I refer to a study I wrote in 2008 as it contains many data points applicable today.  In 2008 I published via CSO Online a study on the Economic Espionage landscape of 2007, detailing how the many countries which share this world are both complaining at having been targeted or victimized, while others complain about the audacity of a nation state to engage in espionage activities against their nation and constituents.  This is far from being an US, China, Russia issue, while China may have earned the leadership position in the espionage engagement, they were not the only player at the global table.  I provide a copy of the study here.

The study was reviewed by the CIA’s publication review board prior to publication for the express purpose of ensuring sources and methods were not revealed and the review in no way implies an endorsement or speaks to the accuracy of my research.
