And _how_ does that benefit the Chinese government, as you claim?

Making and selling counterfeit goods benefits the manufacturer and the 
salesmen. (Much, if not most, is for theinternal market anyway.)

And many companies going to China (and elsewhere) to contract 
manufacturing are making up contracts that *deliberately* involve 
technology transfer. Written into the contract. Ultimately, it does 
benefit them, because they get get a body of schooled technicians and 
manufacturing facilities that can produce their goods more cheaply than 
they could at home.

So you're saying the Chinese were being duped by the American 
government. How's that for "business culture"?
