This argument would be more convincing if the others had a competing product first, but it seems like they don't.

They literally stole all of Nortel's IP, and then hired away their engineers once they had employee data and knew who was working on 5G. But other than that, I guess nobody "had a competing product first". https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/did-a-chinese-hack-kill-canada-s-greatest-tech-company-1.1459269 https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/did-a-chinese-hack-kill-canada-s...

- tw04 3y ago>Its how the USA was built, seems a bit unfair to hold China to a different standard. You mean it seems unfair to hold China to the same standard in 2023 that every other developed nation is held to? Instead, they should get to rewind to the 1800s? Should we turn a blind eye to what's happening to the uighurs too, because Native Americans? All of that is ignoring the IP theft that occurred early on in US history isn't anything even remotely resembling what China has done. You're comparing someone having a bonfire to the Canadian wildfires and acting as though they're the same magnitude.
