China had built its entire country from a peasant-tiddled backwater shithole to the manufacturing powerhouse of the world, from two simple steps:
1) Steal as much of the Westerners' intellectual property as one is capable of. Fuck you and your copyright laws, but if you steal China's IP ideas, that's unacceptable.
2) Exploit the peasants like slave labor and try your best to pay them as such.
To be fair that’s what America did to England.

The US used to only recognize copyright of ZuS writers. Foreign books were printed without any payments. Charles Dickens didn’t get any money from American publishers who printed his books.
About time the world does the same to the US.
Better than playing the tariff game.
Whoa, TIL. Thanks for that interesting history lesson!
I gotta say, I’ve never seen One China sinophobia before, normally you people screech that Taiwan isn’t part of China.
Out of all things you accuse China. Racist guy.
Chinese here. He’s not wrong. Should we just pretend it didn’t happen?
That has nothing to do with topic at hand.
True, it was japan not China. Doesn’t make him racist though, just mistaken.
China isn’t a race.
Spare me your woke BS.
I'm referring to their government, you silly racist fuck.
Off topic excuse.
What do they even have to do with this article? It’s a japanese stealing TSMC industry secrets, a taiwan based company 😂
China lifted 800 million peasants out of abject poverty. In fact, China accounts for nearly ALL of the world’s net positive poverty alleviation in the last 50 years, as capitalist countries have produced more poor people over that time.

This isn’t China though, it’s a Japan-based startup. At least according to the article
