"the message to Asian companies that the Western markets are stacked against them no matter what they do"
Given how successful they are, that's very unlikely. However, the converse is actually true, China is quite hostile to Western business, you can read up on this on the many articles published, e.g. on the Economist. If you want to be treated fairly, you have to treat others so, too, isn't this the golden rule?
- vetinari 15y agoEconomist is not exactly an etalon of unbiased reporting. They have very Anglo-Saxon centred optics. It does not change the fact, that yes, China is very hostile to Western businesses.
- cageface 15y agoAdmittedly there's some asymmetry there. A better way to say this is that it would be easy for Asian companies to conclude that there's no incentive for them to develop original IP because they're just going to get crushed in the IP courts in the West anyway.
