said by Killersaurus:I couldn't care less about this issue. China's flagrant disregard of IP is partly to blame for this and they've shown zero inclination of changing that. How is it that whenever a foreign company sets up shop in China that some domestic company soon appears with designs and products eerily similar? You can look at almost anything; European bullet trains, Russian fighter jets, American electronics. You name it and all of a sudden there's a "Chinese-developed" product that appears right after.

Allowing them to build and install the infrastructure that will be carrying highly sensitive government secrets and blueprints for who-knows-what would be absolutely foolish.
