the only reason most illegal copies of windows from china is it can be cheaper if u do it here. if we don't do it there should still be lots of people on earth do it.the difference is u will spend more on it. this has nothing to do with steal on military technology or other technology. if u invent car first then u won't allow anyone on earth to use it!?? if u have stealth plane first so u won't allow other countries to have similar tech ?? if they master it then u call them thief??? makes no sence to me.
westerner civilization lead the human tech in recent centuries that is true, then it's very normal for anyone who learn from it and this is how human history goes like. u gave us a hat with "thief" written on it cause u feel u r gradually lost the advantage u have and we learned those from u without paying anything.... in my opinion the arrogant people also including u sir.
out.

Wowowowowow,
I came to this forum for some intellegent discussion and yet people like you simply want to call us "thief", "exploiter of children", etc. I don't think that consititute intelligent and meaningful discussion. So I would like to clarify a few points with you here so we can carry on with meaningful discussion.
1) I said I never wanted to sound provocative and antagonistic against the US. In fact I have again and again acknowledged that the US's military budget is larger than the rest of the world's combined, so is your Navy. These are facts and I did not mean to mock the US in any way by stating these facts.
2) China and US are mutually dependent. We need you and you need us. Simple as that. Today's world is no longer isolated as you would like to see it. US corporations are pouring huge amount of capital into China not because they are doing charity work, but for the sake of making a profit, a profit which keeps the folks back home employed. You see, corporation which are the drivers of the world today have a far better understanding than you folks do.
3) China does not exploit 15 year child as a state policy. In fact, I can show you many such deplorable things that you folks engage in in the US as well. However, I am not trying to mock the US again. I am simply trying to tell you that no one is perfect and if all you are good at is yelling empty political and propaganda slogans, kudos to you because once again you have shown the rest of the world why Bush was able to dope the country into a ficticious war.
4) Are you aware of what you folks did to Africans and native americans? Again, I am not trying to bring up these things to mock the US; I am simply telling you no one is perfect and all large nations abuse their own citizens and others one way or another. So you might want to think twice next time you call someone thief because you yourself might just be the biggest thief in human history.
5) You don't simply bomb another country's sovereign territory (embassy) just because it sold stuff to your enemies. Selling arms to enemies happen all the time which the US does all the time. This is simply yet another case of the arrogance and misappropriation of your power. Do you know, angry Beijingers almost burnt down your embassy in Beijing after the bombing? would you like to have the relationship between our two countries to escalate beyond that?

" One day after the firing of a Chinese-American computer scientist suspected of stealing U.S. nuclear secrets and leaking the sensitive material to Beijing, the Chinese government on Tuesday reiterated denials that it stole U.S. nuclear know-how."
"NEWARK, N.J. - Two Chinese nationals working in high-level technical positions at Lucent Technologies Inc. in Murray Hill were charged today with conspiring to steal source code and software associated with an industry-leading Internet server developed exclusively by Lucent, and to transfer it to a Chinese state-owned company, U.S. Attorney Robert J. Cleary announced. "
"China seems to have taken the term free trade to an extreme," said DeFazio. "Not only are successful small U.S. businesses like Videx being ripped off by Chinese companies, but corporate giants like General Motors have seen their products counterfeited, with no reprimand from the Chinese government or world governing bodies. "
"Mainland China obtained at least basic design information on several US nuclear weapons including the W88 miniaturized nuclear warhead and neutron bomb, and its weapons technical advances were due partly to espionage, according to a Central Intelligence Agency report submitted to the US Congress Wednesday'
"China Makes Spying A Company Policy"
"Many foreign companies are worrying that any co-production ventures could result in possible theft of their intellectual property, and that an uneven playing field could favour Chinese manufacturers"

ok now, let's all just cool down and refrain from abusive languages. This thread is started to clarify a few things and it should just serve such purposes. Of course, we can be only so patient as long as you are friendly, patient and understanding. We already have enough misunderstanding and badblood between us and your coming out charging "you are theif" "you steal our hard work" hardly gets us anywhere because for every accusation you make I can make one against you "native americans and african americans", etc. So let's leave this meaningless bashing for now.
cheers.
