No, not just the politicians. Chinese firms steal without anyone knowing. The best example is Roomba, the robotic vacuum. Do this exercise, please. Go to Amazon. See how many other robotic vacuums are listed on Amazon, by Chinese firms. Roomba was 100% invented in United States. Two companies in China took it apart, and copied every single part. This was absolutely true, because Chinese manufacturers actually went to the trouble to copy the original manufacturing defects. They did not seem to realize that they were defects, or assumed the manufacturing defects were actually engineering requirements. Your IP are meaningless in Chinese courts, or the Chinese Communists' court. The contracts you sign have ZERO teeth. This is why Tesla is stupid. Tesla thinks that it can negotiate a fair deal with the Chinese Communist Party. This is the one mistake I see Europeans and American make - they project their western values while doing business in China. All European and American businesses people would do better by reading a little bit about Mao's Cultural Revolution, and imagine what happens to generations of people who grew up without God, or morality codes as enforced by the older, traditional Chinese culture. God and traditions were completely destroyed by the Communist Party. You have generations who are taught to lie and suppress every instinct, in order to co-exist, or even thrive, under Communism. If you think they value your IP, or your contract, think again, sunny boys. Finally, remember, Chinese Communist Party wants to destroy Western Europe and USA. This has been Chinese Communist Party's stated, official, and never retracted party policy since 1956. The situation now is there is a global Communist Cartel, and USA is its single and primary target. Once USA have been destroyed, all else are easy. Other than President Trump, our politicians have never helped this issue. The Republicans are not our friends. The Democrats are at least a little bit more transparent with their intentions. The so-called presidents, starting with Clinton, WANT to join China in this Global Communist Order. That's the goal. We are in their way.
What Americans and other westerners don't understand is that not a single institution in China views itself as something other than a servant of the Chinese government. All Chinese see every contract as valid only insofar as the Chinese government benefits, economically or otherwise. The moment it is not useful or profitable to the Chinese, the deal is over. They really are like Vader "I altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further". Unfortunately, the top quintile in American politics and business do not care and refuse to understand this.
Well, I would not say "all" Chinese. As an outside observer who have spent a lot of time there, and as an admirer of traditional Chinese culture, my belief is that the Chinese Communist Party, CCP, has destroyed the country, and its people, completely. People respond to incentives. CCP controls all businesses, all media, and all lands. You cannot get ahead there, without at least paying superficial fealty to the CCP. The incentive setup rewards short term thinking, because CCP can take everything from you tomorrow, and because foreigners can be cheated without repercussions. In addition, CCP propaganda brainwashes the locals that it's OK to steal from the Europeans, Americans, and Japanese. My belief is that any party that has replaced itself as God, that rewrote all of its history, and culture, end up creating a society where nobody can be trusted.
The Chinese who don't view contracts that way, don't get contracts by and large. What you mean though, is that there are Chinese people who hate what has happened to their country, their government, their way of life etc.
There's a guy I heard about, friend of a friend, who had a contract with the Chinese, got totally screwed over. He found out a Chinese guy basically stole his "idea" and the stuff he assembled in China to implement it. He had to get specialized American lawyers to deal with all the bs and they flat out told him, what you thought you signed isn't what you signed and explained to him that although what he said in the contract was in the contract, the translation of it and the fine print, basically said the opposite of what he thought he was signing. He almost lost his entire fortune. I really don't care about him though, other than I feel sorry for anyone that that happens to but somehow, it's harder to care, when I found out, he thought China was going to be nice to him "oh they're so nice". Srsly, all he talked about for a couple of years was how great China was and even sent his kids to a Chinese immersion school because "China is the future.". I feel sorry for him in the sense that his idealism got destroyed but not sorry in the sense that the idiot voted for Jao Bei Deng.
