I really despise this kind of reasoning. You’re literally comparing 200 year old history and justifying modern IP theft, and projecting forward.

- pravda 7y agoI am not justifying, just describing. As far as the other issue goes, Chinese not being creative due to [insert reason here], I think that is just silly. I am sure the British said, "those dumb Yanks, they can only copy, can't create anything."

- matz1 7y agoStealing works. If the benefit > risk, they should do it.
- spectramax 7y agoWhat an insane argument. Murder, Theft, Deceit, Assault, Terrorism “works” as well. Being a crow in the population of doves has short term benefits to the individual, the crow in this case, but soon more crows will pop up and the societal balance turns into chaos. I’m sure we need not argue this obvious fact. Are you really condoning that stealing OK if it works? I’m speechless.
- matz1 7y ago>Murder, Theft, Deceit, Assault, Terrorism “works”. Depending on the context, yes. Murder, for example, if I'm in a remote island and someone is going to kill me and they are weaker than me, then yes murdering them first works, the benefit > risk. Likewise,in the context of Huawei, stealing works. Note that I'm not saying the US shouldn't do anything to prevent/retaliate.
