US probes China chip industry on ‘anticompetitive’ concerns
(www.dawn.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
From the other perspective, which side is stealing the others' IP? If China gets modern fabs, they'll produce knockoffs of modern tech products and produce better weapons. If China was a better actor, the US wouldn't be as aggressive in stopping their progress.
I dont believe in IP nor value it in any way
The US does, and that explains their behavior toward China.
Edit: Let's make it personal.
How would you feel if a bully took credit for all of your ideas? You make up a game, and the bully takes credit for it and gets everyone to play with them instead of you because they're more popular. Or let's say you write an essay for school, and the bully steals it and puts their name on it. How would you feel? Nobody likes having their ideas taken, which is why things like copyright and patents exist.
China is that bully. They'll take peoples' ideas, produce things cheaper, and not give credit/royalties.That's a dick move.
I'm not happy with current IP law, but that doesn't mean IP law is invalid, it just needs to change.
10-20 years ago they were stealing tech most likely. They mostly innovate today, though legacy chips is a misnomer in that it refers to legacy fab tech good enough to make new chips for undemanding purposes.
