If you follow the hacking over the last few years in relation to China, a clear pattern emerges: China wants United States IP. It's about time someone started taking that threat seriously in the US.
- eru 16y agoGood luck with that. The British didn't manage to keep the Germans from getting their technology in the 19th century.
- xnerdr 16y agoI say it's at least 2 years too late. China has taken the Military and Industrial tech it needed to get up to speed and is now innovating without us.
- danssig 16y agoI don't understand why this is bad. Don't you want China to innovate on their own?
- xnerdr 16y agoI don't because I am not chinese and will not share in the wealth of such enterprising behaviour. You can never become a chinese citizen unless you are born there. Never.
- danssig 16y ago>I don't because I am not chinese and will not share in the wealth of such enterprising behaviour. So you want them to remain poor and primitive just because you can't cash in on their success? That's... not very nice.
- xnerdr 16y agoLife is cruel. You have one piece of toilet paper. Will you use it for yourself or give to a stranger?
- danssig 16y agoExcept it isn't and we have more than one piece of toilet paper. China innovating doesn't hurt you. In fact it could help just like collaborating with the Russians helped our space program in the past.
- xnerdr 16y agoThe resources of the world are finite (as is it's energy allowance), so i'm afraid that toilet paper supply is indeed limited. You're about to see this in a very real way as food prices dramatically increase in the following years.
- danssig 16y agoPerhaps, but the best way to deal with it would to work together. Not wasting resources fighting each other.
- bigwally 16y agoYou may notice that Israel has stolen more intellectual property worldwide than China. But bashing China is fashionable.
- akadien 16y agoHow much more IP has Israel stolen than China?
- briandear 16y agoIsrael doesn't have a habit of threatening US interests. Israel didn't attempt to shoot down our aircraft and hold our aircrews hostage. Israel isn't threatening Taiwan, propping up North Korean dictators or funneling weapons to Darfur. Israel is actually a partner in security as opposed to an opponent. Israel isn't manipulating currency or holding world financial markets hostage. I guess Israel bashing is fashionable. By the way, you have no evidence that Israel has stolen more IP than China -- that's just a nonsensical claim.
- atakan_gurkan 16y ago"Israel didn't attempt to shoot down our aircraft and hold our aircrews hostage." But they did attack US Navy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident "Israel isn't threatening Taiwan" But they do threaten and attacked their neighbours. By the same token, China is not threatening Syria. "propping up North Korean dictators or funneling weapons to Darfur" Israel is one of the biggest arms dealers in the world, and a lot of those weapons go to the hands of various dictators, e.g. in Africa.
