This one is an easy "give", why? Think about this: You leave your door unlock and often wide open but tell the thief to promise you they will never steal you blind when you are not home? We have the responsibility to protect our IP by making sure our IP are securely locked up and cannot be stolen. Often US companies are very careless about protecting their IP and they really have no one but themself to blame if their IP are stolen. The biggie to me is legal tech transfer if companies want to do business in China. That one is what really caused a lot of real tech transfer to China and teaching Chinese companies the knowhow to compete against them. If he gives up on this one, the game is over.
