That's funny. The thousand talents program is about attracting talents globally. Now who are you to say that those talents are 'yours' not 'theirs'? How about those talents the US attracted before because 'everyone likes the freedom here'? Are those not stolen simply because the US did it under a different political banner?

  Good, are those who joined the thousand talents program the property of the US? If you insist on the 'involuntary' part, well, all of you stole paper from China.

  > China runs the largest IP theft program in the world. To the point U.S. companies factor it in when doing business there. This sounds pretty voluntary.

    Ah yes, voluntary theft. That's a thing that we can justify now, huh?

      You need to go back to school and re-take a course on logic.

        Was technology given or was it stolen? Just because companies are aware the theft is going to happen doesn’t mean it’s morally or ethically something that you can defend. Theft is theft.
