Exactly. I'm not blaming them, I'm blaming the West for being so complacent.

  I think we’re complacent because this theft hasn’t actually come around to affect us yet. If China takes stolen tech and uses it internally, it’s hard to justify stopping them from doing so. If they take it and sell it on the international market, then you can use international trade agreements to enforce intellectual property laws and prevent their sale. I think a good analogy is that China is pirating some software but not using it commercially, just personally at home, so there’s no way to really enforce compliance.

    Tell that to Ericsson, who (warning: unsubstantiated claim ahead, but its a widely held industry belief) have had their entire business gutted by Huawei who basically copied entire designs from Ericsson core-mobile equipment

      I heard the same thing except it was Huawei stealing IOS from Cisco.

      No, what is killing Ericsson was betting the house on a shoddy partner like Intel, none of the 10nm chips they designed can be produced in significant quantity: https://semiaccurate.com/2018/07/02/intel-custom-foundrys-10nm-meltdown-is-crushing-a-20b-market-cap-tech-giant/ https://semiaccurate.com/2018/07/02/intel-custom-foundrys-10...
