China Defends Its IP Practices, Says 'We Paid Up'

hackingbear writes "Countering accusations that China's high-speed rail technologies are knockoffs, the head of China's Intellectual Property Administration in a conference said (paraphrasing): "We bought technologies from German, Japan, France, and Canada. We paid up. It is perfectly legal. We then innovate on top of them like most other inventions in the world. Why is that pirating?' (Link is to a Google translation; here is the original.) He cited China's ability, the world's first, to build high-speed rail in a high mountain area as an example of additional innovation."

They'd fuck with the english translation for the same reason they fuck with the english translations generally, and the same reason they created the Great Firewall of China.

Trusting the "official translation" of the Chinese Communist Party is asking for an ass-raping.
