If the U.S. was on top of things and firing on all cylinders I don't think countries like China would even have the leverage it has today. The reason China is "hacking your government databases", "cruising over the south china sea", and xyz other greviances is because it sees what everyone else in the world sees. The U.S. is weakening and nature abhors a vacuum. There wouldn't be margin for that to happen if the U.S. was not literally in front of our eyes blowing up in flames.

Regardless, my question is about China continuing to force transfer of private company IP, bans apps as it see fit, not respecting copyright, etc. How do you as United States and Europe deal with it?
