You are correct, but I dislike the offended whataboutism tone. That other countries did the same 100 years ago, or even some other countries still do today, is not the point.
The point is it's typical of China to steal IP. It's a problem because it gives Chinese companies an unfair advantage as they grow big by stealing all they want from others, but have their own IP protected in other countries.
It would be nice to live in a world without patents, but that's not the world we live in. So if you're ok ignoring reality, might as well go on a tirade how stealing cash is "not immoral" because you don't believe in government issued tender or something.
