Down votes because "China" is a country of 1.4 billion people and not a single hive minded unit. Also this was clearly a simple scam to rake in investor money, they just told people what they wanted to hear so they'd throw money at them. Has never happened in the west huh?

Admittedly, I don’t know the details of this particular situation outside of “yet another copyright / IP scam in China”.

Culture is bigger than any individual.

IP & Copyright are not part of Chinese history or culture and were largely impositions from The west within the last 50 years.

Something like 90% of all business software running in China is stolen.

Additionally, Marxist ideas of collective ownership have left their mark.
