We wouldn't need non-compete if companies got patents instead of trade secrets. But China doesn't give a crap about US patent so we can't have nice things.

Oh how convenient, blame the Chinese. Are American workers moving to Shanghai, taking all those amazing American inventions and client databases with them? What are you actually saying?

Why would China need to give a hoot about US patents? It's not the United States of China. If only the US submitted to every Chinese demand.

China would never agree to respect US patents in any trade deals - is my point.
