This makes me think that the whole IP sharing/stealing is in the cultural fabric of Chinese business dealings. And it would be nearly impossible for Trump to fix it through his current trade negotiations.

Cultural schmultural. They're in a place where it makes sense to do it, they're pragmatic, they do it.

The US industrial revolution was kick-started by IP theft as well: https://www.history.com/news/industrial-revolution-spies-eur...

Would you do any different if you were in charge of a country and your people need to eat? "Sorry starving peasants, we must respect international IP law"?

Fascinating story. Thanks for sharing. It does put the Chinese example into perspective...

They do it, and most of their people still can't afford to eat.

Most of the Chinese can’t afford to eat?? That’s a pretty bold claim. Evidence?

Someone explained to me recently that it might be that part of Trump’s strategy is that by cutting off technology transfers and attacking Chinese IP theft (ie “fusion Centers”) he wants to block China’s way into high tech entirely.
