### Comment:
I do think it’s a bit unfair that we freely let others do business in our country while China pretty much sets up the opportunity to steal our IP if we want access to their market. Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me.

### REPLY:
The economies of US and China are very different, and both countries cannot be equal trading partners until they become at least somewhat comparable (e.g., Japan, Korea, or EU). Until then, the cost of doing business in these countries will vary greatly. While China might 'steal' IP, Western nations are benefiting substantially from its cheap labour and lax environmental regulations. Obviously, that won't work in the long-term and China will become an equally developed country sooner or later.
