For sure, I will not rename myself to Dick Cheney and scam your money by exaggerating threats (of Iraq WMD.) You can contribute to coffer of him and other US politicians by believing whatever they have told you.
Your grandma may have told you: be careful what you wish for.
1. If the claim of Chinese intellectual property violation is not exaggerated and that it will be fixed soon, then that would give American companies more incentives to do more research and development in China, tapping low cost engineers and other college graduates, instead of hiring expensive U.S. engineers. 2. China already files more patents than any other countries. The natural trend would be that there will be more patent trolls suing everyone including American companies, just like those opening up offices in East Texas. 3. once China enforce harder, their hi-tech industry will only become more competitive.
Eventually what happened was that, as China’s domestic copyright industries found themselves competing with cheap knock-offs of foreign goods, they pressed the Chinese government to fortify the IP enforcement process on its own. (To put this in perspective, this is also what happened a century earlier in the US, which until 1890 failed to protect foreign works, and then waited yet another century before joining the major international copyright treaty.)
- Chinese tariff levels and ownership restriction are WTO deals they reached with the US and the other developed countries some 20 years ago, in exchange China agreed to things like processing American trash which pollute its environment heavily. If the US didn't like the deal, why did it sign it. One thing I totally agree with President Trump: if we want to blame, we should blame the past US presidents. But why is that China's fault? - Chinese currency manipulation is a myth: if you actually live in China for the last 4 decades, you would notice that the government has been trying hard to lift Yuan's rate, without that effort, Yuan would be probably worth as much as Yen. go check the exchange rates of these two currency. So we should actually thank the Chinese government, else Chinese products would be many times cheaper than they are now. - Postal treaty? Again China has been admitted as a developing country and so enjoy the lower rate. Given there is no process to re-evaluate their status, why is it China's fault? Is it China still a developing country? That depends on how one defines "developing country". As far as I know, there is no real legal definition. but you can check China's GDP per capita to decide if China is still developing or not. - IP theft? The US itself had stolen massively when it was a developing country. And today's China enforce patent laws pretty well. For examples, Chinese patient have to pay extremely high price for western medicine, whereas India produces all the cheap imitate that benefits their population. So at best, this IP theft claim is exaggerated nowaday
It is more likely worth more than that of American's.
- The US recently pulled out from climate change treaty it signed - The US recently pulled out from the Iran nuclear it signed, without any concrete evidence that Iran violated the deal - The US pulled out from the mid-range missile treaty it has signed with Russia - The US failed to pay its UN member dues for years
China has made that proposal back in June. And if the US insists raising the tariffs after 90 days, you can be sure this agreement is over and China will stop buying US farm products.
The main cause of low trust in a society is that competition is high. China has 1.4 billion people and many are still poor. There are over 7 million college graduates every year.
You can compare their trust level to that of the Americans before the 1930's.
The easiest strategy to rally support and get public funding is FUD, especially creating a powerful foreign enemy by exaggeration and lies.
Our military industry complex has a track record on it: claims of WMD in Iraq leading to the trillion-dollar Iraq War that's still not quite ended.
Today, the cybersecurity industry complex is repeating the same: hacking from China. How do they prove beyond reasonable the hacks are indeed from China other than some IP addresses? How do they prove that Chinese computers are not just used as springboard from some 3rd party hackers/countries/organization? Heck, how do we know if the "hack" are not done by the same cybersecurity industry insiders for the purpose of framing anti-China sentiment and thereby rip off money from you and me?
When their research leads to new weapons development
Maybe you can do a fact check on which country produces and sells more advanced weapons than the rest of the world combined. Hint: this country's name contains the letters U, S. and A.
and they balk, ala Google, watch what happens.
Technically, Google pulled itself out of China over the issue of "free speech" and yet it is trying, as of now, to re-enter back into China while the same issue has arguable gotten worse than when they left. Go figure why. And that the only things stop Google from re-entering into China isn't Chinese government (in fact, China would welcome them,) but American politicians and anti-China public sentiment.
There was a previous list in China for those born violating the one-child policy and who couldn't pay the fine. They were not given residency status (Hu Kou) and IDs, making their life very hard, even though technically the local governments should not deny those things, but there is no other way to get them pay the fines, since most of them are poor rural people. Eventually, there are so many of them accumulated in the list -- tens of millions; so at the end the central government (last year?) ordered the local governments giving those people the residency status and ID without condition. So this can happen to this credit score system if too many people end up there -- after all no government can deal with tens of millions of troubles at the same time.
This social credit system, though, work more like the American credit score system than the criminal record list -- your bad record would be removed after certain period of times.
OK, sounds like a good plan. Now, a government, or a private organization like WikiLeaks can also hack into the American credit score system, the No Fly List system, and the criminal records to achieve the same effect on the US. Maybe the Chinese government will do that first; after all, our cyber security and military industry complex keep telling us that China keeps hacking the US, right?
eah, it's at least 51% owned by the Chinese so that (surprise!) they can insist that all IP be handed over.
1. 51% ownership requirements depend on the specific industry and time. The trend is that more and more China's industries are opened up *gradually*. In the early days, only low-end manufacturing were WOFE (wholly owned foreign entities,) now even aerospace companies and banks can be WOFE. 2. the typical business set up is usually opposite: an WOFE entity owns all the IP but the join venture owns only the business licenses. For example, most major Chinese internet companies such as Alibaba and Baidu are set up this way.
1. having a fab line or two does not imply advanced economy. they are just like factories; 2. requiring developing countries to not develop its tech industry and have to stuck in low end manufacturing is selfish and unreasonable; 3. you were implying developing countries can steal tech is OK, I'm sure plenty of people don't agree with you; 4. using #3 to justify the early theft acts of the US is hypocritical. 5. the West has signed up to the fact that China has been a developing country, without a clear legally binding agreement for removing that status. so even if that's no longer true, it is the US and its puppet friends' earlier flaws; why should China take the initiative to harm its own people? If the West is civilized, they should start negotiating instead of making up and exaggerate accusations. 6. under the WTO agreement, most economic practices the US accusing China are allowed, given its developing country status. See #5 for remedies.
Because the USA itself built its industry by stealing from others, massively! Of course, according to American Exceptionalism, this is acceptable and its populace would not be surprised because their dark little historic secrets were rarely mentioned or taught to them. Do what I say, don't do what I did.
China has succeed achieving this years ago and from space too. When have American scientists got in the culture of making false and exaggerated claims?
Don't you know that there are already plenty of roads connecting the mainland and Hong Kong, through the city of Shenzhen; there is no need for another narrow bridge to move tanks.
Of course, everything the Chinese have been/are doing would have a politically biased interpretation from Americans.
There is exactly ZERO chance that over the last decade Apple was not the target of U.S. of A. trying to inject compromised hardware into their supply chain
Fixed that for you.
As revealed in the Snowden leaks, the USA has been proven to do spying against its own citizens and against other countries in particular China, whereas all the Chinese hacking accusations so far are coming from the American cybersecurity companies (or its five eye partners) who have deep interested in framing a powerful foreign enemy, just like the military industrial complex accused Iraq of hiding WMDs before the Iraq War.
Because the US military has invaded and continue launching wars for over one hundred years, not counting the illegal occupation of Texas, California, and Hawaii, whereas China at most flickering with some regions and islands that they already have some (pre-PRC, typically internationally recognized) historical claims, and at the same time dramatically improve the actual human rights situation, comparing to the Qing and ROC periods, through economic development.

I didn't say or know if Russia or China is real victim or not. But I do know two real victims: Iraq and you the American taxpayer.

South China Morning Post is a Hong Kong newspaper; maybe you are talking about CNN. :-)
Fair, you don't have to believe them; maybe they were making FAKE news. :-)
But you should read through all the documents in the Snowden leak to see for yourself if the source data are there.
PRC looks like still a developing country based on GDP per capita.
Not sure about the US. :-)
Yes, like this one... oh sorry, it pointed at the wrong direction.
The US itself built its industry by stealing from others, massively. Without that, the US today would be just another Mexico.

1) China still has 1 billion of poor people;
2) US itself agreed to such term and without setting a timeline.
Of course the US never abide to its own commitment anyway.
And, China has powerful nuclear weapons too
... Iraq possesses WMDs pointing at our heads.
Maybe it is time to review documents from the Snowden leak.
