    Well looking at it from another perspective, we should take comfort in the fact that the Chinese would go into such length to want to steal knowledge and technology from the West. That means we are still more superior and more advanced in technological development than them. If one day China stops copying from us, that's when we would *really* need to worry.

    China, after investing so much in education, cultivation and development of scientists (look how many of them are in the West) and yet at the end of the day they still need to resort to stealing to develop their products? Especially when it's over a non-BPA coating? BPA has been banned in plastics since the 70's in the West so we have had this technology of producing non-BPA coating for 40+ years and yet China still doesn't know how to do it and they have to steal to find out?!!

    Come to think all those Chinese people in China, all 1.4 billion of them all consuming still food with BPA leached into them from plastics?

  5. The Chinese are corporate kleptomaniacs. They'll steal everything that isn't bolted down.

    Sadly, same has been said about the Russians. I hope you realize that this is just a stupid stereotype, just like the crap that American women don't like sex, only Belgians make good beer (partly true, I have to admit) etc. See more here, for example: http://www.exile.ru/transient/151/europeans-chart.html

    It really boils down to government sponsorship of this modus operandi. Chinese (and to a lesser extent, some other EM governments) have decided that speeding up progress is more important than building a cultural framework where intellectual property is protected. It's obviously short-sighted but it does achieve the intended result.

    Well if we are just sharing experiences...

    I never met a black guy who wasn't a criminal. An Arab that wasn't a terrorist. A Southerner that didn't fuck his/her whole family. An Indian that didn't stink. A Latino that wasn't a janitor or a maid. A WASP that wasn't a closet fag. A Slav that didn't like ladyboy cock.

    Sounds like the cockroaches might survive a nuclear war!

  9. If only you counted the US at its beginning as EM

    "Throughout the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, American industrial spies roamed the British Isles, seeking not just new machines but skilled workers who could run and maintain those machines. "

    "The American government often encouraged such piracy. Alexander Hamilton, in his 1791 “Report on Manufactures,” called on the country to reward those who brought us “improvements and secrets of extraordinary value” from elsewhere."

    Getting off topic slightly, but what century do you live in? Best musicians? You mean 1D?

    How many of these British entertainers were queer? George Michael, Freddy Mercury, hell maybe even 1D! Did you not know that about your heroes or are you of the same sexual orientation as them?

    Guess you are right! Queers do make better entertainers! Stereotypes!
