Oh hell yes. I know the Silicon Valley tech sector, and it is full of employees and managers who are CCP connected. I'm aware of one case where my manager's manager regularly flew to China to share information he did not dare to email.
20 years ago I worked for one company that bought a small hotel nearby its plant, and bugged all the rooms. Then when execs of major companies came to visit, they put them up at the place. This was during the PC boom days. So it's been going on a long time, in many companies. More news: same company planted someone in a major semiconductor company and stole intellectual property (designs) from them and used that in their chips. The Chinese have spies in networks all over.
