Super Frelon:
Familiar?
The Super Frelon has also been licence-produced in China for years, so not exactly a surprise that the Chinese have been heavily influenced by (i.e. ripped off) its design. I wonder how many parts are totally indigenous in origin?

c) They are the home of many of the world's virus/spam/trojans/DoS attacks/security breaches and likely to use that massive resource to target anyone asking if they have the rights to blatantly copy their products.
d) They also have nuclear weapons.

China rips off someone elses Intellectual Property/Patent shocker....
As you say, no surprise at all, and they are seemingly untouchable.
Exactly. Until the West decides to invest in it's own manufacturing, it has no one but itself to blame. Thieving little rip off merchants.As you say, no surprise at all, and they are seemingly untouchable.
