Basically, the deal is, we give you money if you make your technology public to our companies. 😁

And they got balls to call Chinese the tech thief.

Honestly, anyone calling the Chinese out on copying shit should remember paper, gunpowder, porcelain. The latter actually, there is an entire genre of copies of Chinese designs done by Europeans. Some of them very poor.

I’ve heard about it, that back in 1600s and 1700s, a lot of Europeans seem to be fascinated by the culture of the Far East and copied some of the stuffs such as porcelain made plates and other stuffs.
And for gun powder, there were things such as thunder crashing bombs – the first hand grenades ever been used, invented during Song Dynasty. However, it came too little and too late, Song was already too weakened and such technology still wouldn’t save China from being conquered by Mongols. The point is, without such intentions, Europeans may still be fighting using catapult and the other medieval weapons. Chinese invention were the basis of many things we know, but today’s dumb asses are too full of themselves to realize it.

First commercially viable European porcelain was developed in Meissen in Saxony. The local prince kept the alchemist inventor in a tower lest he may divulge the secret. High nobility in Europe bought Chinese porcelain as a luxury, exotic good. The Meissen artisans were literally copying the designs they saw on imported Chinese ceramics.
