I like this bloke; but he's sailing VERY close to the copyright wind. Can't imagine John Economaki is chuffed.

The patent/copyright laws are different in China and Korea - it's pretty common to exactly duplicate someone's design and sell it as your own.

We have a tendency in the UK or the west generally to project our views, morals and principles onto the rest of the world. This is completely illogical as there is no reason why distant lands should agree with or share our values and culture. I learnt this many years ago working as a consultant for a major British plc doing a fraud investigation (in their eyes) relating to their factories in Argentina and Brazil. They had simply failed to understand that the locals did not share their views of proper business practices at all
If the west decides to place intellectual property for manufacture in a far jurisdiction, then the IP owners should not be surprised if it is blatantly copied. That is part of the price of transferring jobs out of the UK and US into China, so that companies can save labour costs and make more money for shareholders. This happens even though the "west" knows perfectly well that it is using cheap labour in a communist state. It is surely applying double standards morally to complain about so called IP theft when on the other hand we are aware that the foreign workers are paid subsistence wages and are under state control.
Most of us buy tools and consumer goods from Amazon etc and turn a blind eye to all this in favour of low prices. We can't have it both ways. Copying is the way human kind has always progressed. Good job the wheel inventor did not patent his slice of log.
Just providing a contrary view, not finger pointing at anyone

No, they don't. Morality and compassion are not in their dictionary or comprehension. I prefer our mores.

Surely it was obvious to anyone that letting the Chinese infiltrate…
Universities
Chip manufacture
Nuclear
Steel
Telecoms
Was against the national interest.
