You did EXACTLY what I predicted you would.......

I have been laughing all the way for a good half an hour actually, seeing you become so frustrated and failing to find anything to back yourself up, that's sooo funny.

This is a tactic you picked up from the Indians.
I see them do this all the time

You will be having a conversation, then out of nowhere they will accuse you of being frustrated or angry or something.

I think its a way to try and end the conversation quickly as using more English can be tough for ESL speakers.

I mean, even a grade 8 English education teaches you how to read emotion in text so no reasonable person would say "you are frustrated/angry/etc"

Why did you get so angry when I pointed to the fact that China destroyed so much of her culture and history.
Must have hit a sore spot.... tends to happen when you tell the truth to people.

Americans could not read Chinese, but Chinese could read English. If you don't understand your rival, you fail in the first place.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Chinese national pleaded guilty on Tuesday to stealing trade secrets from U.S. petroleum company Phillips 66 (PSX.N), where he worked on the research and development of next generation battery technologies, the U.S. Justice Department said.

Hongjin Tan, 36, stole information regarding the manufacture of a “research and development downstream energy market product” that is worth more than $1 billion, the department said in a statement. The department identified the company where he worked as Phillips 66 in court documents filed in Oklahoma.

Tan was a staff scientist at Phillips 66 in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, from May 2017 through December 2018. The company said in December it was cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in a probe involving a “former employee at our Bartlesville location,” but declined to comment further on Tuesday.

An FBI affidavit said Phillips 66 called the agency in December 2018 to report the theft of trade secrets, around the same time that Tan told a former co-worker he was going back to China. Tan was arrested before he could return.

“Tan’s guilty plea continues to fill in the picture of China’s theft of American intellectual property,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers.

“The Department launched its China Initiative to battle precisely the type of behavior reflected in today’s plea — illegal behavior that costs Americans their jobs — and we will continue to do so.”

In his plea agreement, Tan admitted to intentionally copying and downloading research and development materials without authorization from his employer.

Tan will be sentenced on Feb. 12 and the Justice Department said it agreed a sentence of up to two years in prison would be appropriate as would $150,000 in restitution to Phillips 66.

Tan was responsible for research and development of the U.S. company’s battery program and developing battery technologies using its proprietary processes. Phillips 66 told the FBI in 2018 it had earned an estimated $1.4 billion to $1.8 billion from the unspecified technology.

The FBI found an employment agreement from a Chinese company that has developed production lines for lithium ion battery materials on Tan’s laptop.

This is revenge by the Chinese. REVENGE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.

@Rusty I told you before, your credibility is zero when you start reading English about Chinese History. Your post means nothing, zilch, zero credibility.

What a strange argument to make.
"You can't read our language, so you have no right to say or have any onions on us and our behavior"

Language of dictators are universal my friend.
