I say the West can have the right to complain about Chinese IP theft when it pays reparations and compensation to China for stealing China’s silk production methods since the 6th century, stealing Chinese gunpowder since the 12th century, and stealing Chinese block printing technology since the 14th century. Also, Japan can give back Chinese script characters they took from China, then it can have its oranges back.
And that’s just a very small sample of the ideas and technology that Europe and the rest of Asia “stole” from China.
…or we can all agree that IP is bullshit and that all human inventions are the common property of humanity.
funny part about this is that one “stolen” scion successfully grafted can be infinitely reproduced
