It's not China specific though, surely it would be the same in pretty much any non-English speaking country? What happens if a company in Romania/Bulgaria/Nigeria/Chile clones your US startup? Even in terms of legal jurisdictions if a company in Australia clones it, and hosts and develops everything in Australia, you may need to hire an Australian legal team to fight it.

Not sure about Nigeria but you can absolutely seek legal recourse in Romania, Bulgaria or Chile with the aid of a local, English-speaking lawyer. All of these countries have well developed legal systems.

  Ok - great. A competitor can open and register their company in Panama. Then what?

    If they conduct business in the United States, it may be possible to seek legal recourse in the United States.

Nigeria is an English speaking(not native) country. Her legal system is modeled after that of England. And you can sue anybody, it is left for court to decide if your case has merit.
