I for one, am sick and tired of hearing about piracy in China. Every country / company / person, sometime in history, has pirated (copy, steal, whatever) others. It's not like China invented piracy and then made piracy a national policy, while everyone else were angels.
Did you know Americans pirated twice as much software and media than the Chinese? Who's the bigger pirate? I guess since Americans are stealing from Americans, then it's okay? :nono:
Since this is a car forum, let's stick to cars.
Don't you think, even this day and age, that GM would take a new Toyota and disassemble it down to the nuts and bolts to analyze it? GM would then "R&D" their own version of the technologies they liked instead of making a carbon copy - so that's now more ethical?
The way I see it, is that Chinese companies are just very bad pirates, and the bigger players are smart and savvy pirates. That's the only difference.
