The "stolen IP" story is fun because it represents an unstated assumption that only the West has good ideas.

When their years of long-term thinking and investment in R&D pay off, will the people kvetching today be willing to license Chinese designs?

I note that the new high speed rail project being promoted in Texas is based on old shinkansen designs from Japan; I wonder if it was just too much lost face to consider a CRH derived design?

It's also fun because if it was true, it would be proof that the copyright and patent system is stifling for development, competition and innovation
