The rules of this game are written by the winners. Fuck copyright, IP, and patent laws. The ones who dislike this are the 1%, they can go fuck themselves too.

Well if you copy everyone’s IP you don’t have research and development costs so you can leapfrog everyone. It’s a big reason why everyone dislikes china’s copying of everything.
Also it’s a little disingenuous to copy and steal everything not nailed down and then copyright stuff that you make.

Its not just about patents. China also actually makes a shit-ton of batteries, EVs, solar panels, and wind turbines.
I don’t care if China “steals” a patent from some giant corporation that was just going to squat on it, and uses it to actually make a fuck-ton of renewable energy products.
China is very good at making massive quantities of product at an affordable price. If you actually care about renewables, let them make renewables.
