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

Posted by kdawson on from the one-man's-theft dept.

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."

    "He cited China's ability, the world's first, to build high-speed tail in high mountain area as an example of additional innovation." Somehow, I don't think that brothels in the mountains are new or uniquely Chinese. I recently took a road trip through Nevada - and while not very mountainous, there was no shortage of establishments offering high-speed tail right along the highway.
