Like many other things made in China, I doubt these patents will stand the test of time. China is known for fabricating much of its public face. I have shared experiences with various citizens of China. Conditions are far different from the western world. An example: Many areas of China have lines for most bathrooms at apartment buildings. This may seem comical, yet it is the tip of the iceberg. Until China addresses the suffering that its citizens endure and ensures some form of civil liberty for the people occupying its borders, no amount of patents will be enough.
