China definately didnt steal any technology's. Atleast no more then most western country's like the U.S and european countries do. And, China has enough resources in there own country to be able to develope new technology's. Especialy with the current economical pace it is at.
No offense, but that sounds a little ignorant. The Chinese can and do develop their own technology but they also steal more than any other nation.
Actually "steal" is too strong a word as the lack of intellectual property law in China makes such activity entirely legal. Which is itself a problem in the private sector: Chinese companies copy products from other countries and market them as the original. There was a problem in the US where a Chinese company copied toothpaste (Crest or Colgate I believe) and sold it in the US. Unfortunately it was tainted with some chemical and the FDA had a hard time recalling it as there was no way to tell it apart from the real thing, right down to the "made in USA" label. We have a problem where I work as well with counterfeit electronics parts. You can't tell them apart from the real thing until you tear it open and look under an electron microscope. This really puts the retail distribution chains under threat. Think that Intel chip or GeForce graphics card you got off the internet is the real thing? It may be an only partially functional Chinese knockoff. You have no way of knowing. The only way to get a real AMD chip or InVidia is to buy direct from the company that sells 'em. Even those hologram stickers are no proof anymore.
In the end its us consumers who get screwed by this behavior.
