China today stands as the most aggressively innovative force in modern history. What truly matters isn’t just the number of patents,it’s the sheer volume of high-tech, cutting-edge developments they’re churning out. These innovations are reshaping global industries at breakneck speed.
And soon enough, the West, clinging to its fading dominance, will have only one bitter word left to scream: “Stolen”
You’re missing the point. And no, i don’t support “intellectual property”. But whether or not i support something doesn’t make that thing not real. We have to engage with reality as it exists, and that’s what China is doing.
Why is intellectual property in quotes and what is the point I am missing? When did anyone say intellectual property is not real? I genuinely do not understand your response, sorry.
As far as I know, the reality is that patents are harmful to innovation, especially digital innovation, and antithetical to social ownership of the means of production, especially in our age of knowledge economy. China is leading in innovation today but, as comrade blobjim pointed out at the beginning of this thread, this has nothing to do with patents – and I am now also claiming that giving in to the pressures of the global capital and accepting patents as a necessity and a yardstick of success will prove to be stifling to innovation. In light of all of this, I look at the OP and don’t see a reason to be triumphant.
