    China is exertng their economic power in Africa nation building all the time. Their nuclear arms stockpile is fastest growing. China make a habit of stealing IP so much that companies stopped sharing prottypes for years as they would be taken at the border for security checks and returned with the deal myateriously disappearing from the “private” company

      China is exertng their economic power in Africa nation building all the time.

      Exerting? How? Are they threatening sanctions like the US? Are they forcing “structural reforms” on them like the IMF?

      Their nuclear arms stockpile is fastest growing.

      Says who? Last time I checked the US stockpile is more than 10x larger still.

      Does this comment have a point or are you just collecting random brainworms?

      “Stealing IP” isn’t real. The idea that you can own an idea is a legal fiction we made up, we shouldn’t be surprised when other countries don’t respect our imaginary property.

        While I agree that Imaginary Property shouldn’t be real, in our capitalist hellhole it is indeed real and it has as assigned value to people that are inside that capitalist hellhole.

          And China, as they try to build socialism, refuses to respect imaginary property.

          All I can to is wish them luck. Fuck IP. Steal it all, unlimited theft on the imaginary economy.

      Oh how I dream of the day when China decides copyright and patents are forever void.
