What a sad fucking world. I like what China does in the regard to patents. That is exactly what patents deserve.

Yep, in 2021 the FBI was opening a new China related investigation every 12 hours. China steals billions of dollars worth of industrial knowledge and secrets from the US every year through industrial espionage.

Billions a year seems like a great deal for the US, compared to the benefit it gets from trading with China.

You'd need to be claiming it's worth trillions a year in order to even consider cracking down on it.
