If you are a second mover and wake up and find yourself behind the West by decades of not centuries in science and technology, and existing institutions arent in your favor. How, realistically, do you catch up? Start by reading Newton's Principia Mathmatica and maybe in 300 years you will hopefully recreate the steam engine? That will definitely be an honorable thing to do won't it? That way you are not memorizing solutions but learning !
Post less OP. What a stupid thread.
It wouldn’t be so bad if the CCP wasn’t literally pure evil.
Hey CCP gave us Eve Online and that is an awesome game.
How dared those nasty Chinese to refuse buying opium from the West?
China stole Micron's IP and is going to get a friendly Chinese court to say that SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron are infringing on a Chinese company and must pay damages or get shut out of the Chinese market. It's hilarious, and demands a strong response.
🤦♂️
This isn’t about “China” it’s about particular companies and breach of contract. That is what it means to be part of a more open world where people interact on the basis of law. Thinking about it in terms of the “tribe” or “nation” is how China ended up behind in the first place.
OP - no, don't recreate the steam engine. Buy the steam engine from the people who own it, and then use it to derive a new innovation. That's what a new business in the west would do as well.
I don't get why companies whine about IP theft. Don't like it, don't do business with china. That they still do is evidence that it's still a net beneficial transaction.
This is dumb. And it's basically what trump is trying to do with his tarrifs

OP, you seem to assert that stealing IP is OK because China was playing from behind. Does that then mean it’s OK for companies as well? Morgan Stanley can take Chase IP and trade secrets to catch up as well?
I believe it is once used by a famous US entrepreneur: “great artists steal”.
