    Corporate espionage and requiring western comoanies to partner with local companies or government is not free market capitalism, but it worked.

      A true free market doesn’t have IP rights. Corporate espionage absolutely is end game free market.

        A true free market doesn’t require joint ventures either. There is no true free market worldwide and really, never has been. it’s a concept, not a reality.

        It’s fine to be against IP rights but they serve a purpose. If China don’t wish to honour them, they could leave the wto. They won’t though.

      It’s exactly free market capitalism. It’s how the late stage free market will always play out.
