I have personal experience with China’s flagrant disregard for US copyright and patent laws. AND with the spineless turds in congress being totally unwilling to do anything about it. Just disgusting beyond belief. Not the Chinese, the US congress and Trump’s predecessors.
I’ve told this story before: I work for Universal Studios and one of my buds (a non-active Freeper) also works for Universal but it’s for the Theme Park division.
They go to China a few years back and being an engineer he could explain what it would take to create a theme park. Along with them was a copyright and property-infringement expert who works for the studio.
By the time they entire the Commie Offices, they get straight to the point: we want this ride, that ride etc. No problem...
THEN they go “we want to put characters of Hulk, Spiderman, Tweety, Sylvester, daffy Duck..’ Obviously these are Warner and Marvel properties. THEY DIDNT CARE. They had NO concept of property theft. They just want to steal those rival characters..which obviously will get the studio in trouble.
