If China continues down this path to stealing everyone's tech, it's in the interest of all other countries to shut them out of the international market until they play fair.

Unless it turns out that strong protections for intellectual property rights isn't correlated with the survival of a sovereign nation. Then it won't matter how loudly the international community complains; China will just do its thing. They're large enough and have the agricultural and industrial base to weather isolation in the way that Iran/Russia do not.

Survive? Sure. Thrive by global standards with trade restrictions? Not a chance.

Or at least tone them down quite a bit. It's fair to have some degree of protection over an invention that required years of work of possibly multiple people, and a lot of money. But I don't see how protecting it for longer than ~5 years is justified.

Especially when your "invention" is just a vauge document describing something you have never built but now prevent anyone else from ever building it as well

This was a Japan in the 70s and South Korea in the 90s.
The solution is to help China reach a level where they can start to innovate and care about IP.
By that time, we will start complaining about the next country that steals IP.

Is China stealing everyone's tech, or just the US and US allies?

The US also stole to get its leg up in the world in the 18th century.
