Quote from SNBthetrue:
China and Usa have to sit togheter at a table and discuss an Unified Intellectual Propriety right agreement.
I don't know the point of view of the chineses... neither the one of the Us... But I am sure there is a common ground.
But I am sure as both people are really creative and inventive it will be in their best interrest to agree on a common definition of intellectual propriety.
China has too much to gain from flouting intellectual property rights at the moment. They're not going to sit at the table until either:
1) They become sophisticated enough that they have enough of their own IP that they want to protect.
2) The US decides that it will stop trading with the Chinese unless China changes its IP policy. Right now the US gains too much from its trade policy with China to consider such a move.
I wouldn't expect China to start talking about IP rights for another 5 to 10 years.
