I'm starting to think this is the case, but the US is a country that enforces its version of copyright with gunboats. Not an easy task to simply find another jurisdiction.

"US …copyright with gunboats."

Right, that's why it will get worse. Unfortunately, we're still only in skirmish territory. And it's a battle we have to win.

I think about time for a third opium war. China is manipulating currency through trade restrictions, and the West wants to sell them poison, maybe it's time to sail a carrier group up the Pearl River!

The battle that needs to be won is with greedy publishers who don't respect either creators or content consumers.

The copyright/patents issue with China is only part of a much bigger political issue. Gunboat diplomacy isn't the solution, history has shown it's made things worse—China hasn't forgotten the Opium Wars.
