I recall reading that China went with CDMA (which is Qualcomm intellectual property) as a condition on entering the WTO, as mandated to them by the United States. So they were allowed to join the WTO, and Qualcomm made billions in IP royalties. I don’t have the evidence at hand. Perhaps someone else can find it.
