I'm starting to think that this whole sanctioning China may motivate and prompt them to do more and better in every field.
It's too big, bright and resourceful of a country to choose confrontation instead of collaboration.
Starting? This was obvious way back in 2019, when the US decided to give China a little push developing their own silicon industry.

It's not like we didn't try it. China first have to learn to make deals where both party benefits.
I would say the Trump Administration needs to learn this as well.
America knew how to do it. But they are learning quick from China.
This has been clearly stated as what would happen going back several decades at least.

That's good. Keep going.
Well the big problem with china is that they do not respect international law when it comes to technology theft. But that argument is very weak when it appears that a lot of what they do is out in the open for anyone to replicate.
if the americans didn't want IP theft, they shouldn't have taught tens of millions of people how to make their IP
That's how you catch up when you're behind.
Now the US is behind in EVs can you guess what they're doing? [1]

"argument is very weak" regardless as I said.
No major power respects nor cares about international law.
Intellectual property is part of WTO agreements but enforcement is domestic.
US companies do it too, regularly, they simply hire and poach staff from competitors.
Proving it to be IP theft is difficult unless you can prove documents being passed. But often all you need is the know-how of the hired talent.
yeah, America is totally out there respecting international law.
"problem" indeed.
There isn't one global "international law" for copyright. There are treaties that countries negotiate with each other.
If the USA wanted a copyright treaty with China bad enough, we would negotiate one. China is not breaking any laws here, international or otherwise.
