  1. Nobody has actually come up with any examples of "intellectual" "property" "theft." American companies that want to use cheap Chinese labor have to show the Chinese how the thing they're making fits together. Big deal That's just part of the process. Then you've got the Buick type of case: the Buick uses a superb General Motors engine that won a whole lot of prizes when Cadillac first introduced it years ago. Buicks are made in China. Buicks are only made in China. GM was going to discontinue the marque, but their Chinese marketers pointed out that there was a large market for it over there: everybody who ca't afford a (German) Rolls-Royce wants a Buick. So they kept the car going. That means teaching the Chinese how it works, selling them the chips, giving them the blueprints. Worth pointing out is that the Chinese manufacture it with advanced robots of their own invention and development. We aren't hearing a lot of Americans of this Jay Timmons type owning up to the fact that the Chinese are ahead of us in a lot of stuff on their own. So the Chinese make Buicks for Chinese -- and pay licensing fees, consultants' salaries, and the profits to Americans. Then Trump whines about the theft of all this -- and suits like Timmons -- a PR guy in an association office, not an actual manufacturer -- go along with the whine, at least until the excellent Bloomberg folks beat him back into contact with the real world,
