    Wait so because two major US companies were caught stealing IP US companies don’t steal?

    Edit:

    spend decades creating something new and exciting only to have someone else come along and steal it

    After already making millions on it, being the first to market, developing a prestigious position - I’d be fine.

      U.S. companies don’t steal

      You made this dumb claim, not me.

      And the point was there are steep consequences to stealing. Unlike China parading around like they’re some kind of divine power when they just steal shit all day long.

        Sorry if I misunderstood your argument, I said that US companies also steal and you said “no, I’m afraid not”. I’m not sure why you brought up enforcement or consequences? As I said I don’t think it’s a crime with any real negative consequence, so the differences in US and Chinese punishments don’t seem relevant.
