Trump: China to buy $50 billion US farm goods annually

I do think that this is the case - in many respects.

 

Chinese theft of intellectual property is not being disputed. I realize why you used the pig example and pointed out how your cheap shot was not a fair example. You can educate yourself on China's record of theft with little effort. I have a personal story:

A good friend of mine mortgaged his home and developed a product. He gave up on time with his family, gave up on sleep, and went through the long and expensive patent process. Shortly after launching the product, it was knocked off and was being sold online for a fraction of the price. Long before seeing light at the end of the profit tunnel, he had to go deeper in debt to defend the patent. Do you think China cooperated and held the manufacturer accountable?
