Comment on Majority of Australians think China will be world’s most powerful country by 2035, poll finds
Nakoichi@hexbear.net 4 weeks agoI mostly agree however you are showing some serious racism when you say they “stole” anything. Do typu really believe the people that invented gun powder cannot innovate?

China doesn’t respect intellectual property

Not something worth respecting in the first place

Except it is since Chinese companies take US tech and flood the market with cheaper shittier versions. If you are a startup avoid China like the plague. Even Intel had a bunch of there stuff stolen.

If their versions were actually shittier we wouldn’t be losing as badly as we are, you’re verifiably wrong and it comes off as racist

Fixed it for you. The west barely even makes industrial products. At best western companies assembles parts ordered from China, or designs them but has them produced in china (obviously the factory manufacturing your designs will find out what the design is!)
On top of that, in many cases, western companies in china are literally signing explicit technology transfer contracts to work in china.
Even when the Chinese steal western designs (a fear that is completely overblown and mostly just corporate propaganda against market competitors), that is actually a good thing because IP is a plague upon humanity.
That’s good news.
