Yeah, I generally agree with you. Just seems unfair that China gets to reap the rewards for the efforts of people working elsewhere. The fact that billionaires just pocket all the rewards anyway makes that point a bit moot.
As a member of the working class, I don’t particularly mind if a socialist country reaps the rewards of my work. Also, it’s not like IP is a zero-sum game, and that an idea put into use in one place means it can’t be put into use in another. It’s like ancient Babylon getting mad at Sumeria for putting seeds into the ground.

Tbh, I’m still mad at Sumeria
