Chinese companies are engaging in anti-competitive practices, as usual. They are rogue actors on the economic scene. If it were feasible, they'd be widely banned, and for good reason.
- amanaplanacanal 4mo agoBringing more competition is "anti-competitive" now.
- catigula 4mo agoMerely copying products that actual companies produce and making them cheaper is anti-competitive. There's no incentive for the products to be developed in the first place in a market if this is happening. This is why copy protections exist in civilized countries (not China and to a lesser extent India).
- amanaplanacanal 4mo agoThat's why IP was invented, but what IP are they infringing? Not patents, not copyright, not trademarks, so what? Making something cheaper than someone else isn't anti-competitive. There are a lot of businesses that do that. That's the very essence of competition.
- catigula 4mo agoThey're not merely 'making something cheaper'. They're actively violating the terms of service using deceptive means. This is a trade-secret/DMCA violation. You're not allowed to use computers to do stuff like that. It's against the law.
