China has no IP-protection because they copy and go. As soon as they would be innovators, they would adopt it. Right now, they have a lot of luck that they are> 1 billion people and stealing everything they can without punishment. IP-protection would happen for Chinese firms, just not outsiders. Don't change my words. "This" protection = global protection. China just has "Chinese" protection. It's not in laid out in rules with them, but it means in 99% of the cases that they are an advantage for Chinese firms. Ps. Blocking the market is an extreme form of IP-protection, it's even just stealing and adjusting the rules ( required Chinese partnerships). They adapted in a very bad way, they also get previous generation tech because firms don't trust it
