The China diagram should have a large one way blue arrow coming from the West.
- msie 11y agoLots of engineers from China working in those Western companies. Lots of people doing original research in Western universities come from China.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoYou're actually both right. China is among the biggest I.P. thieves, esp stealing from U.S. Funny thing is that the advantage of cheap, skilled labor means most companies can't help but take advantage of it. It can be a necessity for firms with little capital. The overall trend seems to be using American tools and high-level design with RTL + manufacturing done by Asians. No real surprise there.
- Steko 11y agoI didn't mean to suggest Chinese people can't do engineering or research, and in fact 'the west' here is a shorthand for 'traditional IP ecosystem' that properly includes Taiwan/Korea/Japan. What I meant is if you're going to compare IP ecosystems you need to be honest. The "Chinese network IP ecosystem" is not a closed loop as the diagram suggests but is heavily subsidized by innovations from outside of that system.
