60 Minutes Archive: Stealing America's Secrets

They are right. Chinese steal intellectual properties. Not only tech, also arts. Chinese don't have many talents. They lack originality, creativity, and even initiative. In other words, they are repressed in their thinking span. Mind me asking, what trade are you in? Or what does your company specialise in?

In my country the locals would not allow Chinese people to take pictures of products because they found that the same people would go back to China to copy them, return, and sell cheaper. They do it all over the world.

(This comment isn't against Chinese people, many of whom have suffered from the evils of their anti-human-rights government. It's against China's evil governmental system & its defenders.) Look who's trying to help Putin slaughter civilians in Ukraine & commit war crimes: China!!! China recently increased purchases of Russian oil by more than 50% to help the evil dictator, Putin!!!

Even if china had the blueprints they dont have the ability to re create that. Maybe in 20 or 30 years. The perception of china is way off for most people. Yeah they have a lot of factories. But they make calculators. We make super computers. They dont have the equipment or the people to maintain the equipment to build such a high end aircraft. Even if they had the blueprints.

Trump and Jared and Inanka all do business with the Chinese. Trump and Jared were busted doing business with Chinese businessmen on an official trip to China. They tried to cover it up. Some Real Estate Deal, yeah right. Trump had our Nuclear secrets all along. Plus 2 Chinese spies got into Mar A Lago. Later caught with spy cams. Then the spy who posed as a rich socialite that he golfed with. Now he's hosting the Saudis. He even invited the Taliban to Bedminster on 9/11 a couple years ago when he signed over Afghanistan to them, causing a chaotic exit and the death of 13 troops.

Who has the nuclear documents and who took them out of the SCIF? Who actually does business with the Chinese? Trump lies he owes lots of money to Chinese Banks, Russian Banks and the Saudis, so does Jared. Jared got 2 billion dollars from the MBS the day after the Trump admin ended. Jared got 1.1 billion dollars in 2017 from Qutar to save 666 5th Ave. and before that he received 500 million from the UAE to lease his failing 666 5th Ave building. The lease was paid years in advance? How about the Chinese business men Jared met with while on an official government trip to China. It wasn't logged and he claims it was real-estate deals in Illinois for Chinese who enter the USA through Canada, so much for border security. Right?
