But you can't do business in China without handing over your tech and partnering with locals.

Needing that translated, stamped and signed on fancy paper is irrelevant. The message is loud and clear to anyone wanting to do business.

Sovereign nations are allowed to make laws. They are under no obligation to make things easier for foreign multinationals.

Having things stamped and signed on fancy paper is absolutely relevant. As the article describes, not having that fancy paper enables the government to brazenly lie, saying forced tech transfers are being stopped when they're actually being ramped up.
