The US does, and that explains their behavior toward China.

Edit: Let’s make it personal.

How would you feel if a bully took credit for all of your ideas? You make up a game, and the bully takes credit for it and gets everyone to play with them instead of you because they’re more popular. Or let’s say you write an essay for school, and the bully steals it and puts their name on it. How would you feel? Nobody likes having their ideas taken, which is why things like copyright and patents exist.

China is that bully. They’ll take peoples’ ideas, produce things cheaper, and not give credit/royalties.That’s a dick move.

I’m not happy with current IP law, but that doesn’t mean IP law is invalid, it just needs to change.

You misunderstand, I do not believe in intellectual property and I think copyright law shouldn’t exist. I do not believe in private ownership of property (note that I am not referring to personal property, private property is for making profit). I understand that copyright law is a necessity in capitalist society but I am not gonna be mad at China for “bullying” the capitalists I already hate. Our owning class is just mad about having actual competition for once in a few decades. These aren’t schoolboys who had their paper stolen by a bully, they are the richest people in the world doing everything in their power to make sure it stays that way.

10-20 years ago they were stealing tech most likely. They mostly innovate today, though legacy chips is a misnomer in that it refers to legacy fab tech good enough to make new chips for undemanding purposes.
