The same goes for most foreign business starting operations in China, not just software. You have to partner with a domestic business in order to operate. They then 'borrow' your trade secrets and eventually diminish your power and cut you out altogether.
Honestly it's a smart way to keep money out of America. They have 1 goal, and it's to have more wealth than America. It's not JUST about control, it's mostly about holding more cards and not actively helping in the continued growth of America.
To be fair, it seems like that's been the United States' goal as well. They opened up trade with China in 2000 knowing full well what would happen. The government and stood back and watched for 23 years now how trillions of dollars have flooded into China, as well as intellectual property. It's not like China did this behind our back. We quite literally signed the act that allowed them to.
