As they did with gunpowder, china-clay, silkworms, tea and even Panda's.

I think only Panda's out of that small list have their IP still protected and the rest got industrial-theft treatment over the centuries. Though in fairness - they do share Panda's.

Byzantines robbed the silkworms in possibly one of the oldest written records of corporate espionage?

They don't share pandas at all - the pandas are 'rented out' to zoos around the world and subject to intense negotiation and strict contracts. Any baby pandas born on foreign soil still belong to China. So, no, they don't 'share' pandas at all.

Yes, a loose connection but as China does treat them as if they are IP and with as much (if not more so) control - I include them. For example - if a country was to clone Panda's without China's consent, the level of outrage and response would be very comparable had some high-level IP had been stolen.

But as an isolated example - I'll agree it is a weak one, but worth including for how it is treated as IP by the country.

I think he was just pointing out that it's Pandas, not Panda's.

My bad, I've clearly mentally added an exclamation mark in my mind and ran with that.
