I didn't lose any argument. All companies steal tech from each other everywhere all the time. The claim you were trying to make is that China somehow steals from the west at state level as a policy. Today, China is way ahead of the west in many areas technologically, I guess using your galaxy brain logic they must be stealing it from the future.

The best part here is that you genuinely think you made a good and coherent point. 😂

You lied. I did not claim that China is stealing from the west at state level as a policy.

Today China is not technologically ahead of "the west." This is very easy to see if you look at the above links, showing the times that China has blatantly stolen basic design and tech that they shouldn't need if they were ahead of even just the US. Since China is behind the US technologically, they are constantly stealing designs and technology from the US.

Now we'll just ignore all the things that you are making up and focus on what actually happened.

You incorrectly claim that Chinese companies and spies do not constantly commit corporate espionage and steel technology and designs from the west.

Above, there are half a dozen clear cut recent examples of China stealing designs and technology from the west.

China has hypersonic missiles, usa does not. Tell me how they "stole" them.

You mean those missiles lockheed martin had in the 70s? That LM is working with DARPA on now that other countries have caught up? The missiles we already have a working defense system for?

Those missiles?

Chinese hypersonic missiles are dependent on American technology smuggled to China through Chinese companies because "American technology — such as highly specialized aeronautical engineering software — fills critical gaps in domestic technology and is key to advances in Chinese weaponry."

That's how. Smuggling. Normal, boring smuggling.

meanwhile in the real world 😂

Ah yes, their"potential" and 'possible" advancements.

These articles do not actually measure technology, they measure the amount of money the ccp is investing in tech in order to catch up with the US and articles published, regardless of the content.

When you discover the metrics by which these "leads" are established, it's easy to see why the "leading" country in 37 tech fields is so desperate to steal technology from the US.

Person B is a not a better painter than person A because they bought more paintbrushes.
