IP shouldn't exist, and it hampers capitalism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAvbWeivv8o

This is one of China's advantages btw, the US should abolish IP to get more competitive.

Clearly you’re not an investor because what brings confidence to investors is commercial defensibility. IP is one of those moats that encourage investment.

Did China agree it is theft?

The US doesn’t respect trademarks like Kobe Beef, Parmesan Cheese etc.

> I can pretty much confirm that I have never had real Parmesan Cheese, and neither have you.

That is a bizarre claim. If you’ve only ever bought pre-grated Kraft “Parmesan”, that might be true. But it’s not difficult to buy Parmigiano-Reggiano in nicer grocery stores.

Also the EU has hundreds of special designations. It’s not surprising that the US would decline to give a blanket deference to EU law in this area.

While it may not be difficult, what I said is correct.

Why should China respect IP of USA if USA doesn’t respect IP of Europe?

It’s not correct. We have international agreements with China and others nations broadly covering patents and copyrights. We have no such agreements covering regional appellates.

If you don’t see the difference between using a name of appellation and hacking into a computer and downloading research that cost billions of dollars then I’m afraid we can’t have a discussion about this.
