Few would probably argue that the Chinese have copied many American products and openly sell them in China despite US patents.
However, the "honest" USA seems to enforce Chinese patents here in the USA.
Don't say China has nothing worth copying. You would be wrong. They are spending billions and billions on R&D and are coming up with many new technologies now.
But it seems a bit unfair to US firms that the Chinese blatantly copy US products and sell them, yet American firms are prosecuted vigorously should they do the same here.
Should this change?
If not, how is it "fair"? What is the politics behind this?
