The West needs to wake up and treat Chinese companies like China treats non-Chinese companies. Raid their US offices, take all of their IP, and then tell them that they have equal access to our markets and there's nothing wrong.

If they don't play by your rules, sometimes it makes sense to play by their rules. So it is.

In a prisoner's dilemma, if you know the other person is going to defect, are you going to cooperate?

The world ain't fair. There is no international entity that can police international relations, so nations must fend for themselves.

We should all be ruthlessly raiding the IPs of corporations, both American and Chinese. If you're not, then I don't know what you're doing.
