How the US Lost Its China Complaint On IP

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday January 27, 2009 @04:51PM from the evidence-from-the-newspaper dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The World Trade Organization yesterday released its much-anticipated decision involving a US complaint against China over its protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights. The US quickly proclaimed victory, with newspaper headlines trumpeting the WTO panel's requirement that China reform elements of its intellectual property laws. Yet the reality is somewhat different. As Michael Geist notes, the US lost badly on key issues such as border measures and criminal IP enforcement, with the international trade body upholding the validity of China's laws."

USA is trying to pacify Iraq. by FatSean · 2009-01-28 02:42 · Score: 0, Offtopic

The USA would probably not try to pacify and effect regime change in China. They would obliterate every city and send the country back to where it was 50 years ago.
The Navy would ass-rape China's sad showing. The Air Force would have a field day with China's airpower.
Nukes is all that China has that can stand up.
But yeah, IP is absurd.
