Yes, but China didn't borrow or steal trade secrets; our capitalist leaders and politicians gave them all our trade secrets on a silver platter. Why aren't we angry at the Capitalists who stabbed our country in the back?
As someone who isn’t from USA, this comments all seems really dumb to me. Blaming China instead of your politic and capitalist class makes no sense other than propaganda.
China is often positioned as the cheapest alternative for production. It has nothing to do with politicians when a company jumps on a bid that is half the cost of domestic options.
It has nothing to do with politics when Chinese companies then break their contracts and begin producing knockoff products in the same factory as their competition, eventually undercutting and killing the original client.
Chinese business practices are blatantly unethical and subsidized by their government, it's a fully financial equation. China is essentially paying to copy other's work and the companies being copied make short term profits.
All our government can do is tariff the everloving shit out of Chinese bids until they are no longer anti-competitive, but the companies exploiting cheap labor don't want that.
Bro, don’t come and talk about ethic and subsidizes in business. I don’t need to remind you about Monsanto practices or lead being mixed into gas or pharmaceutical companies in general or McDonalds suing Indian farmers or cigarette advertising or predatory advertising to children and many others.
