Name one thing where US is cheating? US invents china steals that the only truth. Name one thing chinese have invented? Dont tell me gun powder, something latest.



> Name one thing where US is cheating?

It is an open secret that the US has waged wars and authorized covert action for economical purposes, eg. for control over oil.

> Name one thing chinese have invented?

Electronic cigarettes, passenger drones, synthetic bovine insulin, and the Nobel prize-winning Malaria drug Artemisinin.

(Not that I believe that Chinese companies were not lax with US IP, but that you try to instill the idea that China cannot invent and that the US does not mess international trade, which is not quite true.)


That’s funny, the British used to say the same thing about the US during the industrial revolution where America didn’t respect British IP.

Hollywood exists because California didn’t respect IP from eastern states.

So, stealing is the winning strategy it seems.
