lmao this is hilarious after decades of accusing Chinese companies of "stealing" tech from western companies. Which even if true would be cool and good.

Are you claiming China doesn’t steal tech? It’s rather well known that they do. Didn’t know that was a fact up for debate. DuPont alone has lost billions in IP theft alone to the Chinese.

It sounds surprising given the headline, but looks quite reasonable when looking at the details in the article:

  • The requirement is part of a tender for €1bn worth of grants to develop batteries. It only affect companies who engage in this tender.
  • This is in part a response, at a smaller scale, to what China's own regime that "pressures foreign companies into sharing their intellectual property in exchange for access to the Chinese market. "
