  • Honestly? Good for them.

    Intellectual property is good for us in the western world, as we hold all the patents. But for developing countries it’s incredibly restrictive. Not to mention the absolute ban on chip manufacturing the Chinese are subject to by the USA.

    So what’s the outcome? I see a lot of racism in this thread, this isn’t a “china is going china” thing. It’s a “China is trying to develop its own industry and they will break intellectual property laws if necessary”. I mean, it’s kind of cruel to expect them to work for 20-30 years to achieve something that as humans we’ve already figured out? Idk.

    Meanwhile you see the same kind of people defending AI companies that basically do the same. Lol.

    Intellectual property is unfair to developing countries. Period. Also, the smartphone industry has gotten a huge boost not just thanks to apple but also thanks to china for “stealing” so they can develop the industry enough to the point where they can be at the same level or ahead.
