> IP protection in china is non existing which anyone who even done a little business in china knows very well. Rather than going back and forth with "Yes it is," "No it isn't," I'll provide some hard facts here. China has been ramping up IP enforcement over the past five years or so. In 2014, China began establishing specialized IP courts in major cities, and over time, more and more have been created. These courts…
Those are not hard facts. Progress isn't the same as a satisfactory situation. Anyone who has tried working in China knows exactly what the problem is. If not for Trump we wouldn't even be having this discussion and China would now have more or less complete domination on large parts of western infrastructure. I have no idea what make you think that you are making any kind of argument here. It's a known fact even by…
What isn't a fact? Everything I wrote about the development of Chinese IP enforcement is detailed in the sources I listed at the end.
> It's a known fact even by the EU that china is not giving us access to their markets
That's not a known fact. American and European businesses not only have access to the Chinese market, but also have very significant presence there. China is the biggest market for Boeing and Airbus. It's the biggest market for General Motors and Volkswagen (and VW is the largest car brand in China), and the second largest market for Ford. I could go on and on like this. China is obviously still strongly export-dependent, but its consumer economy is growing quickly and foreign companies have a huge presence in that sector.
> and har not actually securing IP and are in fact forcing it onto chinese hands.
In my last comment, I cited to you the figures on the rapid growth in the number of IP disputes heard by Chinese courts. I told you about how specialized IP courts have been set up in major Chinese cities over the past five years, about how penalties for IP violations have been significantly increased, about how evidence discovery has been made easier, and about how effective foreign companies are in winning patent disputes in China (a 70% win rate). Those are facts.
I find that people outside China often have an image of the country that lags 10-20 years behind reality. The image you're painting would have been more accurate in 2009. In 2019, it's woefully out of date.
