Welcome to my world. This is my business, what I deal with everyday... Intellectual property rights. What do you wanna know???

Well, How do you consider breaching the Intellectual Property Rights in China?

The concept of intellectual property is completely alien to the mainland Chinese psyche. Its like trying to explain quarks to a truck driver, not because of low intelligence but absolutely no frame of reference with which to grasp the concept. The entire education system is based on mimicking what you are given so to think of something as being not fair to copy makes no sense it is something the mainland Chinese never encounter in their lives.

ok, so the Chinese in China are thought from Young to copy things?

This isn't going to end pretty...

Definetly not!

Im not sure if that is a J-10.......after looking at the photo, i believe it might be a J-11 their newest fighter based off the SU-27. Im not really sure though....

Here in the Mainland, yes, the Chinese system of education is based on rote memorisation and copying. To say this is wrong is a judgement based on a completely different value system. Think of it in these terms... Chinese has approximately 60,000 characters and to be literate you need to know how to write 6,000 or them, how else would you learn it in a classroom of 60 students and 1 teacher? You have to copy it from the person next to you. Its an entirely different culture.

Well, that is very true indeed! I learn Chinese from young this way too!

Well, there goes the lack of ingenuity and innovation.... Can't say much about an educational system where if you don't get an extremely good grade on the high school exam you're gonna have a hell of a hard time getting into a college at all, and you're probably going to head off to acrobatic school or be a farmer.... unless you have rich parents of course where you'll be sent an American boarding school or to the US itself to attend one of those highly publicized and overrated colleges.
