re: Is the US right to cry foul about forced technology transfer to do business in China--

No Bullwinkle. I seem to think that if a US company has a patent in China, the Chinese are supposed to recognize that patent in China. However, patent protection does not nearly cover all IP theft in China. Presumably, were you not playing the simpleton role of Chinese apologist, you'd know that.

I hope the Chinese stab that IB motherfricker in the back, fricking his teeth out, and cost him everything. I hope they double cross him so bad it cost him every cent he has and forces him into a homeless shelter. He is a turncoat Bennidict Arnaud traitor and cares more about his own 2 cents than this country. He is the poster boy for worthless republican establishment Chamber of Commerce useless shits.

Explain yourself sir.

This trade war is about IP theft--which is just about all in CHINA and about forced partnerships in China. The Chinese have even said if you don't want to do business they way they want then simply do not invest in China.

One example--Now if you are Boeing and you want to protect your manufacturing IP you can simply elect not to build plants there. That is not what they want to do. They want to build the airplanes they sell in China in China. They would really like some more IP protections there.

Now if you have not read the 301 directive that explicitly defines what these tariff are about you should not challenge me with some perceptions you have about what the trade war is about.

My contention has been of late that the Chinese are going to make their IP protections stronger and they are going to reduce the requirements for foreign investments---both things BTW will be very good for China and very good for US companies wishing to build plants to service the Chinese market in China.

It is also my contention that Trump will never add the new items to the tariff list and will never bring the 25% tariff on all the tariffed Chinese goods as he has threatened. He wants something people like you will take his word is a "huge victory" and this issue will move to the back pages. It is very similar to the Mexico and Canada deals that are really not much more than new NAFTAs with very small changes in the overall scheme of things.

That is what this is about.

I don't think Americans should be punished for buying Chinese products just so a relatively few US companies can make huge fortunes in China. If you disagree so be it.

You are paying more for anything with tariffed items in it so that large US multinational companies will have more IP protection and fewer financial requirements IN CHINA for their business there.

Which bus did you ride to school??

While I agree it’s largely about IP transfers, do we force Chinese companies to do the same thing in this country? No we don’t so why shouldnt we tariff them for this practice. They refuse to protect IP so why should we accept this? And btw who is the President who is talking about this and actually doing something about this?

You would do we to read Xi’s address regarding China’a 20 year plan and the technologies and industries they intend to dominate. It’s not top secret as to China’s attempt to displace the US through their predatory merchantilist policies. They all starting manifesting this ambition militarily in the South China Sea. I don’t even want to get into how we sold out working class America for short term profits.

So enjoy your cheap shite while you sell this country down the river.
