The article gives several possible ways to improve the situation. However, one critical way is missing imho: China forces foreign investment to always come in the form of a joint venture with a Chinese company. This practice needs to be forbidden or heavily penalized in all future trade agreements and similar international contracts.

Forbidding that practice will simply mean that you won't be doing any more business in China. Which is fine with me. It's just that CEOs that see a virgin population of over a billion consumers for their widgets can't help themselves and will agree to just about anything to be able to tap that market before their competition does.

Article is behind paywall, is there alternative link?

It seems they activate the paywall after a post gets traction. Because there was none before.

Easy bypass is to run it through a url shortener, and then outline.com.

Works for NYT as well, and most others.
