Japan had “a long history of stealing technology IP” until they didn’t. Then it was South Korea that “a long history of stealing technology IP” until they didn’t.

Now it’s China getting blamed. I wonder which country will be next? India?

There have been incidents with Japanese corporations stealing IP:

So your argument is that other foreign nationals have been unfairly accused in the past so we shouldn't worry about it happening? Or, is it that other nations, as they developed, spied and stole technology until they didn't need to anymore?

Either way I don't see why we should ignore technology theft.

The US did it too, until they became top dog. I can't get worked up about it. It's just the way of things.
