Why The U.S. And China Fight Over IP
Imagine Nike without the swoosh, McDonald’s with no golden arches, or Apple without the apple. Trademarks and patents can make or break a company. In the U.S. alone, intellectual property-intensive industries contribute trillions of dollars to the economy every year, and IP has become a key battleground between the world’s biggest economic powers, the U.S. and China.

A lot of these people will never know about the DVD era. 90s babies are the best generation because we lived in 4 decades, 2 centuries, and two different millenniums. We witnessed the technology shift in the world firsthand and at a young enough age to grow up with it and be the pioneers. Went from Blockbuster (for whites), Bootlegg (for coloreds), VHS tapes. To dvd. I remember the first DVD player and movie I saw. It was X-men 2. I was thinking damn this is cool. It’s a disc. Gaming consoles kicked off and halo was everywhere. We still had house phones etc etc I’m old
I was guessing Internet Protocol.

This reminds me of the book - Kicking Away the Ladder by Ha-Joon Chang (no, he's not Chinese - he's Korean and works at Cambridge). Basically all the current superpowers get all resentful when new challengers essentially use the same strategies they once did to develop and so try to take the high road to stop them. IP infringement? US used to do that. Closed / Protectionist economic policy? Also the US in the past, as well as the former superpower Britain. Basically, do as we say (now), not as we did. They've somewhat left behind those practices now only cos they don't need them anymore, a stage China is also starting to transition to. Just wait, one day China will be preaching strong IP protection as well - everyone loves being a hypocrite when it suits them.

I thought the video would provide a balanced view of why both China and the US are in this battle for IP rights but it simply paints China as the villain and US, the righteous protagonist. I guess we are always the hero in our own stories.

@Jonathan Gullett That's a good point. Except it contradicts the entire premise of this video. The title says "The U.S. and China" and the entire video quietly implies Chinese patents are mostly fraudulent and that China (the country, not individuals across different countries) is the only one playing dirty. As someone pointed out, the real answer to the question in the title is answered in the last 30 seconds of the 11-minute video. Everything else just sounds like "China bad, U.S. good."

@@olivers-g4021 Actually there's plenty of innovations and inventions that have been made without being patented. Every open source and public license piece of tech forgoes patents - and we've all been the better off for it (as it's allowed others to freely build upon the original work). The polio vaccine by Jonas Salk was famously not patented (and indeed loads of other publicly funded innovations aren't either, which again has benefited society massively). Also, consider the flipside - by fencing off knowledge of and rights over a discovery, a lot of innovation is actually STIFLED by strong IP restrictions because it actively prevents others from further building on those inventions or even accessing their specs. Meanwhile, there are entire creative industries that effectively thrive with practically zero IP protection. Case in point, the fashion industry (albeit that's copyright rather than patents).
wait. Whats wrong if after 20 years, the product can be freely produced in other country? the patent is over right?

"Forced technology" transfer are technology that are decades old. They are not actually forced but paid for directly or indirectly and US companies have profit tremendously from the deal.
I think the US should pass a law of Reciprocal Trade Conditions: -The US would Tariff products at the same rate as the other country does for those same products coming from the US. -If the other country obligates US companies to partner up with a local companies and give up their IP, then companies of that country will also face such obligation. -If the other country imposes Quotas on certain products, the US will impose equivalent Quotas on those same products. -If the other country changes their trade policy in these areas, then the US would also do so accordingly in an automatic way.
