US (and other OECD) companies love to yell and scream to congress critters about IPR theft, but when they're not on the record, the story changes:
- Really making an effort to protect their property falls in the "too hard" category.
- Participating in markets where IPR theft is rampant is too lucrative to miss.
- Having the US Government play the bad guy is really useful.
Then there's the target: foreign-invested companies doing business in China. Boy, those SOE executives must be busting a guy laughing at The Trumpet's poor aim.
Probably much more important, slapping around your own citizens to get someone else to change their behavior is incredibly stupid.
