What's the expression meaning violate someone's interests?

English Language & Usage Asked by McBear Holden on September 7, 2020

I used to think that, for example, "He moved her cheese", would mean that he violate and threatens her interests. (I believe this expression comes from the popular book)

Today I found out that probably I have been wrong.
Could any native English speakers help me out?

If this expression (someone moved someone else’s cheese) doesn’t mean what I thought, what does it mean?
and what are the popular expressions that mean to say "threaten’s someone else’s interests"?

Let me give another example: The unification of Germany in the 19th century threatens the interests of France and England. Could I say that Germany moved the cheese of France and England?
