I would say it's the other way around.
Negotiating international trade agreements with the purpose of limiting the flow of information by means of "IP" is the very definition of protectionism.
- Retric 9y agoMutual IP agreements are not protectionism just an equal playing field. Protecting domestic companies, but not foreign ones on the other hand is the definition of protectionism. PS: Abolishing IP would also be a level playing field, but again that's not what they are doing.

- candiodari 9y agoIf you think China's IP practices are intended to create an equal playing field, you're more than just a little bit naive. Also mostly Chinese domestic companies' protectionism is about the same thing as the European version of the same is : getting enough Chinese people jobs so they don't revolt.
