China Wheels In a Trojan Horse

"Intellectual Property Rights" is a concept alien to Chinese culture, and why not, since the concept is misanthropic, contrary to natural rights.

Reading Patry, we see that there are no property interests in statutory concepts, such as trademark, patent and copyrights.

Further, just as traceability trumps trademarks in the markets, Chinese legislators up the ante on trademarks:
In cases of infringement, compensation of up to 3 million yuan shall be paid to the holders of trademark rights, according to the draft amendment to the Trademark Law, tabled for a third reading at the ongoing bimonthly session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature.
Much of USA's economic decline can be traced to our "intellectual property rights" regime.    Just as it is ending, China is ramping it up.

It is sad to see such an avid competitor self-inflict disability, and adopt wholesale a regime that is contrary to Chinese ethic, and contrary to "modernity with Chinese characteristics.

Would that China will roll this Trojan Horse back out of their country, and resume their ancient practice of creativity and innovation, that gave the world so many good things.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
