Of course, China’s inadequate intellectual-property protection has damaged relations (a shortcoming that may be harming Chinese firms more than US firms by deterring American – and other advanced country – companies from deploying new technologies in China). And the role of China’s state-owned enterprises and official Chinese support for technological “national champions” (privileged companies that almost certainly use government money carelessly) has also hurt relations.
当然，中国在知识产权保护方面的欠缺伤害了中美关系（这一缺陷妨碍了美国和其他发达国家将新技术推广到中国，其对中国企业造成的伤害可能更甚于美国企业）。中国国有企业所扮演的角色以及中国政府对技术“国企巨头”（national champion，拥有特权地位、几乎肯定会滥用政府资金的公司）的支持也损害了中美关系。
