The Chinese have essentially become capitalists today. Just like the

too. They just don't like to admit it much.
Thieving capitalists who invent nothing and simply copy/counterfeit what
the rest of the world creates.
Didn't people use to say that about Japan?
I don't know. If they did, I wasn't one of them.
Japan does not have a history of openly tolerated theft of intellectual
property (media, software, etc.), and I think most of us would agree
Japan has created (as opposed to copied) a number of innovative or
otherwise excellent products (automotive, cellular, consumer
electronics, etc.)
The same cannot be said for China.
