Is that because it's different enough to appeal to an entirely different audience?

I wonder if a competitor could possibly improve this is any way at all?

No. It's because Chinese IP theft is so common place that it's hardly worth noting.

I really struck a nerve with you, didn't I?

In this case what exactly is "theft"? The idea of a floating screen chair? That seems to be done by multiple companies, and doesn't appear to be protected IP in anyway.

If you disagree then it's be great to see the trademark, patent, design patent or copyright that has even possibly been violated here.

I appreciated the irony of commenting on something by saying "I'm not going to say something about X"!

You are really hung up on this and I don't understand why.
