China is an entire economy built on intellectual property thievery and slave labor. The whole thing, that's their advantage, and source of gdp which perpetuates the CCP's stranglehold on 1.4 Billion people . Theft and slavery. The Chinese CCP can fuck off into the sun.
Sounds like very late stage capitalism to me....
They just did the speed run past us.
The United States of America stole the land from the Indians and used black,Irish and Chinese slaves to build it. The United States can fuck off into the sun.
To be fair, espionage is a common thing throught history. This is nothing really morally wrong with copying from other countries.
By your definition, the US technically "stole" the atomic bomb from the nazis by "stealing" German scientists. I mean like... who cares.
Your argument should focus more on what the implications of what it means for China to become more powerful, not the "intellectual property" aspect. Like what jurisdiction? The powerless UN? Is it "intellectual property" if we find a alien spacecraft and didn't ask the aliens for permission to reverse engineer it?
Did US propaganda tell you that?
