The black and white answer is:

No government is going to openly allow a country that so blatantly copies intellectual property or steal foreign technologies into their economy.

Although I'm sure China has some great innovations and ideas, they are overshadowed by their government's refusal to enforce international copyright laws.

I mean, a Chinese car company is selling the Chinese military an outright copy of the American Humvee. There are copies of German and Japanese cars selling for a fraction of the price of the actual thing in their market. And no these aren't rebranded versions of the actually thing, no more than a Rolox is a rebranded version of a Rolex.

Then there are copies of American, Japanese, and German phones; copies or pirated versions of computer software and games; pirated movies, and toys. Every few months there is someone in the US implicated for selling corporate secrets to the Chinese, the latest one involving technology for their space program.

I mean, I'm Asian, and although I may be offended that some people think all Asians are Chinese, I am more embarrassed to be associated with such a joke of a foreign "power".
