Imagine there is one billion people- and they are deemed by their own government so incapable of innovating tech - and so not in need of future IP protection due to a lack of inventions, that such massive industrial espionage is deemed a better trade off.

For a Chinese developer- this is actually the hardest insult somebody could throw at them.

What trade off? They can both have internal innovation, which is hard, and steal others IP, which is easy.

You basically sacrifice all your rights to protect your own IPs if you go around stealing from your neighbors. If a Chinese company invents something - no matter how protected it is, i assume it would be one huge government sanctioned feeding frenzy free for all.

I can already hear the negotiation starting with- well if you want your IPs protected, all you need to do is sign here and here- and assure us our IPs are protected to. Its the same eye for a eye logic governing punitive dutys.
