I didn't see anything in there about Chinese companies violating Chinese law.

Can you so easily look up how American companies struggle with effective enforcement of Chinese IP laws? I think it should be pretty easy to see how American companies struggle with effective enforcement of European IP laws, and I can tell you it is similar.

From here, it is not so clear that the US can even enforce its own laws at the moment.

Thank you!

I see. I guess if China is 3000 years old then maybe obviously, because the US is such a young country by comparison.

So you think it is "fair"[1] to violate Chinese Law because there were people in China who violated US law first?

If so, I think that is pretty childish.

[1]: I am trying it out!

Maybe fair in a tit-for-tat sort of way, but not okay. That's why I called the whole situation funny. The rest of your post is answered in the sibling comment.
