    Because USA did exactly the same in the past. Take all the designs and ideas from somewhere else to build themselves up, then get ahead and turn around and forbid everyone else to use their stuff.

    China is now doing following that same plan. It wasn’t even hard. All they had to do was to say to give the designs and they’ll producer them cheaper. Now they’re the factory of the world. We knew this was going to happen but short term profit before long term consequences, right? A few tariffs aren’t going to stop this.

      I personally think it’s good that the USA did it back then and I think it’s good that China does it now.

      Independence and wealth for all.
