What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students trace how a company seeking access to China's market might face pressure to share private technology. They also tell the difference between open research, agreed technology sharing, and theft of unpublished work.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can explain who gains access to a design or research finding, how they get it, and why it matters. They can distinguish a required technology transfer from secret copying without treating all trade or research as espionage.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may call any business deal with a Chinese company espionage. They may also assume published research is stolen, or blame Chinese students and workers rather than identifying a specific action and actor.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: A firm must share a chip design to enter a market. Later, someone secretly copies unpublished lab results. Name the two different methods of gaining technology and explain the difference.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a fictional factory contract and a lab access log; have them highlight who can see private designs in each document.
Ask students to write: When does sharing technology become a condition a company cannot realistically refuse?
Give teams scenario cards showing a published paper, a signed license, and stolen files; have them sort and defend each choice.
Show a phone supply-chain diagram; have students mark where a factory partner might need access to a private design.
