if you think China is going to "buy" the technology, you're not paying attention

Yup, just look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Railways_CRH380A
Although I see it as a positive. The money spent to "buy" technology is essentially wasted money.

Is money spent to buy software also "wasted money"? How are you going to pay the engineers developing this technology?

Just because I make a living writing software does not mean I have to support all of this wealth transfer.
I can live on a decent wage. I don't need to make millions of dollars a year.
Screw "creatives" and screw this madness of royalties and license fees. Of what you're doing is of value to someone, they will pay you upfront.
not in the modern R&D driven economy. As an example, Silicon Valley is regularly footing the massive startup bill :)
>that can be dirty a decade or more while the tech and the solution become commodity.
and so lacking their own technology they would be naturally buying it from the "first countries" while the first countries will be reinvesting those money into development of even better tech thus ever increasing their lead.
