> The Chinese government will ensure that no Western competitor will "win" in China. Period. I understand why to a point. My main issue is with the West being completely oblivious to it.
> If China wants to impose such restrictions on Western companies, they shouldn't get access to Western markets. And that's it.
And there are people around who give this a pass. And usually the defense is "China is just following Chinese law".

- factorialboy 5y agoSo you concede that China imposes unfair and unilateral constraints on foreign businesses, and you are asserting that it's alright because foreign businesses _still_ have something to gain. But you don't mention what that something is. Stockholm syndrome? Or a propaganda bot user? The question stands: Why should anyone put up with a one-sided, unfair trade regime.
- jollybean 5y agoIt's fine if China and Chinese want it this way. It just means that our posture with them should be adjusted, i.e. extracting a price for IP theft etc.
