You lied. I did not claim that China is stealing from the west at state level as a policy.

Today China is not technologically ahead of "the west." This is very easy to see if you look at the above links, showing the times that China has blatantly stolen basic design and tech that they shouldn't need if they were ahead of even just the US. Since China is behind the US technologically, they are constantly stealing designs and technology from the US.

Now we'll just ignore all the things that you are making up and focus on what actually happened.

You incorrectly claim that Chinese companies and spies do not constantly commit corporate espionage and steel technology and designs from the west.

Above, there are half a dozen clear cut recent examples of China stealing designs and technology from the west.
