US China trade war and the role of intellectual property | Charts that Count

The US and China continue to increase tariffs on each other. Part of the reason is for the trade war is that the US alleges China engages in theft of intellectual property from US companies. But IP development is growing faster in the US and China. FT's Brooke Fox explains.

Very good video till to dumb vague ending

Speaking of China copying, stealing, or acquiring foreign technologies or intellectual property, I have something to add.

Guess what, China has stolen the following technologies: a) Beidou Global Positioning System fully operational in 2020 - the first with 2-way communication (ie allowing text sending as well as identifying the location of the receivers), whereas GPS/Galileo systems only allow 1-way communication; b) Space-based Quantum Communication - the Micius Satellite, launched in 2016 was also the first in having space-earth ultra-secure link separated by more than 1000 KMs using quantum physics (ie entanglement of photon pairs); c) China’s Chang’e (spacecraft) and Yutu (rover) also made history for a soft landing on the ‘dark side’ of the moon; d) China’s ‘artificial sun project’ led global researchers in 2021 with a breakthrough in high-temperature plasma operation for 1, 056 seconds and 160 million degrees Celsius (prior records respectively 20 seconds and 100 million degrees Celsius); and f) DF17 - the first operational supersonic glide missile in 2019. This missile is capable of changing its projectile and can carry conventional and nuclear payloads for precision strikes.

As a heads-up, China will soon launch its ’003’ type Super-carrier with an electromagnetic catapult system for launching and recovery of aircraft (or CATOBAR), most probably in 2022. Whilst this will be the largest and most advanced aircraft carrier ever built outside the USA, the 003 will use an ‘integrated direct-current power and propulsion system’, something that US and its Western allies have yet to master. It is noteworthy that the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier has not been fully operational as it is plagued with various problems including elevators, propulsion, and electrical systems. China tested in August 2021 its Fractional Orbit Bombardment Systems (FOBS) that travels at low earth orbit at +20x the speed of sound, rendering all ground-based missile defense systems useless. Furthermore, in January 2022, China secretly tested an SJ-21 satellite that captured a defunct Beidou satellite and towed the latter to the graveyard orbit. After performing this space maneuver, this SJ-21 satellite subsequently returned to its original geostationary orbit. Needless to say, this advanced Chinese technology also predates any known one to date.

Such technologies did not exist or were not at such an advanced level on earth (including, of course, the USA) prior to China putting them into practical operations, so the only logical conclusion is that China must have stolen such extraterrestrial technologies from aliens.

tell me nowaday how many american graduates want to do research, science, product design and engineering.

[curtiscarpenter]

China patent 1.5 million goods a year according to wikipedia so how do they steal and why.... is this a example that represents its interests?

[秋分-di]

Talking about tech issues I suggest you look back a bit, say Wassenaar Arrangement 1996, and CoCom before.


If you learned about that you know China's position, and it's quite real considering the case of McDonnell Douglas.


Things started changing since the 1990s, as the American transnationals started to build their transnational modular production networks.


Productions were packed up in modules, high-value sectors remained in America and manufacturing parts went aboard.


That's why since then the wages of CEOs goes sky high and most Americans started feeling something wrong with globalization.


Yet, by doing this, American transnationals gained greater power, and as they do control the government, they can do what they want in Americans' name. Although, people are left behind. (60 of the top 500 corps pay 0 tax last year if I'm right)


But this story has another side, a principle of industrialization is people learning by doing and innovation is based on producing.



So, China is catching up, here brings us to today.


As a Chinese, I'm not saying our hands are clean, as America did a hundred years before, there are good bad and ugly.



But, I want to tell you another side of our story.

[singrider]

I don’t think just because you find some new ideas and that idea belong to you. Especially internationally.

[AbuSousPR]

thx. valid info that I was ignorant of

[ljbonner]

Nice video. I'm pretty sure the Chinese stole my IP when I was a small boy. It explains everything...

[vincenttse]

Yeah great. But you do not list out the IP that has been stolen. Word are dirt cheap. You do not have any proved

[AbuSousPR]

western economies have low inflation rate... Because we exported it to China, India, and other nations


Any protectionist policies shall result in higher inflation which will force the FED to raise interest rate .... etc.

[ivanovichtrosd]

Simple resolution problem, without "ip peace" ( or whatever that means), stop manufacturing in China

[csanton]

Lol i think she can even come up with a relationship curve of my desired sexy time with her, i really dont see any value of creating a chart just to say chinas ip investment grew more than us

[MegaPapa]

Isn't China leading the patent granted in the world for the past three years?

[TynOng]

Should you change the title of the video to "the doodles that vaguely explains super simplified opinions"?
