Indeed, LOL. Why break something if it works?
Forcing foreign enterprises into partnership with domestic counterparts have been proven to be a practical remedy to China's late industrialization.
At least, China has not resorted to abject protectionism like the UK did in the late 19th century and the US did throughout the 20th century.
Nobody points a gun at them to set up partnership. They love it long time.
Indeed, the old man is putting the blame on China which is totally absurd. If foreign companies are eager to operate in China that's their own choice. The construction works, it's a win-win situation for both. Always pointing fingers at China for stealing.
As a matter of fact the very first industrial espionage were conducted by Westerners when they wanted to find out the secrets of Chinese craftsmanship as those losers couldn't replicate the perfection of Chinese art works. Face it, it would be extremely unwise for US companies to sue Chinese steel companies when there's zero proof. Besides China holds a f*cking big economic stick so if US want a trade war, bring it on.

, it was bound to happen anyway. In many ways China caught up in many areas which is very commendable considering the fact China lacked behind couple of decades ago. Just as space technology we are now being viewed as a rising space power. Strangely no Western media claiming China hacking or stealing those technologies so we can can construct our own space station
, heck even no Yankees or Indians ever said we stole NASA tech.
