Somehow people don't mind Windows being pirated all over in China. How is this different? Everything in China is copied. That's what no copyright means: pirated commercial software, putting GPL software in proprietary software (that gets copied, too), downloading warez and movies and music. And that's all right! No GPL developer starves to death because China is ripping his source code all over, similarly to no Western software developer starves to death because anything from Windows to Photoshop to games to $younameit is copied around in China. Software isn't written to suck up money via any half-imaginable channel. Software is written either because it's fun or that there's someone who ends up paying enough so that the development becomes feasible. Crying out for the loss of income if only the Chinese had bought original copies of the programs would be akin to MAFIAA crying out loud for the loss of income if only everyone who pirated a song would've bought the damn album otherwise. GPL is a good weapon in Western countries because in the west these companies also actively go against pirating their software and content.
