Intellectual property attorneys have known this for decades. What has happened wis that Chinese companies buy and build a licensed process for a refinery or chemical manufacturing facility and then clone it many times on their own, avoiding paying licensing fees for the additional facilities built.
That’s not what is happening or at least what is being discussed here. China is stealing (not buying) intellectual property in almost every area from defense to bio engineering. They are doing this through spies stealing files or via hacking into computer systems . Legally paying companies for a design to a chemical manufacturing company is not illegal. Stealing that same design is the issue here. Stealing top secret defense technology is even more destructive.
They copied that first design of proprietary technology that required licensing over and over and didn’t pay for it. I would call that stealing.
This is pretty funny. Everybody, and I mean everybody predicted this finale between Trump and Musk. Everybody knew those two would implode. How bout they take the rest of the South Africans back too. What was there 59 of them that Trump took in. Did he adopt them yet? So Trusk/Mump lasted what, less than 4 1/2 mo. I figured it would blow between 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 mo. So they went a little longer than I thought they would.
No one with any type of ego will last with Trump. This was predictable….as you said.
Even if you don't have a real ego you have to eat what you call your ego. Only yes men survive. Regrettably Steven Miller has been there from the start, and will probably be there till the bitter end. He convinces Trump that all of his ideas are Trump's ideas. He's one devious MF. He's a trumparionette operator.
Appears we kept Garcia in Salvador until he could be indicted on human trafficking charges and thus jailed here in the states on those charges.
You can't convince me that they wouldn't have used this to combat the public outcry at the time that they admitted the mistake in deporting him. If they really had started an investigation, why wouldn't they have brought that out immediately? They apparently manufactured his ties to MS-13 instead.Appears we kept Garcia in Salvador until he could be indicted on human trafficking charges and thus jailed here in the states on those charges.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia back in US to face charges of helping traffic 'thousands' of migrants
Mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia is on the way back to the United States to face charges of transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S., sources say.abcnews.go.com
Read the indictment. There’s little chance that they began the investigation AND presented the case to a grand jury AND got an indictment since he was deported imo. I believe they kept him in Salvador because they didn’t want to release him in the states and risk flight. With his associates being arrested there’s is no chance he didn’t know he was being investigated.
I figured they probably didn't just start this investigation after his deportation. That's why I said they could have found links to him in an ongoing investigation after he was deported. It's possible they could have not wanted to reveal the investigation because of others involved, and it blowing up part of the investigation at the time. But it doesn't seem like they are saying that.
Trump Administration Knew Most Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Had No U.S. Crime Convictions
Did members of Congress fly down to El Salvador to meet with a child trafficker and murderer?
Various new outlets mostly tied to ABC said the case was launched in April '25 and got a verdict on May 21 from the Grand Jury and it was unsealed on June 6. They didn't go into any detail on what they meant by launched. I don't believe they started the investigation then, but it still could be a rushed investigation that was put together that quickly. They looked at a '22 traffic stop and expanded from there. Take from that what you will. That could have given a team 6 or 7 weeks to get evidence together for the grand jury and get an expedited grand jury date.
There’s zero chance the investigation was started in April. To many individuals and details over a period of years. I can understand why they rushed it to a grand jury. If Garcia would have gotten released he would have disappeared across the border. He doesn’t sound like a guy who needs to be roaming around.
Likely because the Salvadoran government offered to house US deportees and citizens who committed crimes for a fee. Whether we have potential cases against that many deportees is anybody's guess. Abrego Garcia wasn't getting released until we quit paying that fee.
A small percentage are being sent there. No clue as to the criteria being used. Can’t imagine there are 238 deportees who are gang members or under investigation for crimes but who knows. Never dreamed Garcia would be indicted under these type of charges
Certainly since the 1980's when the China market began to open up. Major international law firms such as Graham and James and Coudert Bothers were already advising clients about the risks and how to mitigate them, but the allure of a huge, untapped market outweighed IP risk considerations. Everyone knew it would happen. In most of Asia at the time (and maybe now) there is no legal system for enforcement. For example, Microsoft and others knew their software was being pirated all over Asia but continued to do business in Taiwan, China, Indonesia; all hot beds of IP violations.
“It’s easy to blame China now”? China has dispatched spies to the US for decades who have stolen vast amount of our intellectual property. Yet it’s now easy to blame them. WTH I’m becoming more and more convinced you’re a troll when it comes to all things China.
Inventories based on goods are more of a lagging indicator than consumption commodities like gasoline are (which is what suddenly spiked Biden’s economy) You will see prices increase.
I sure hope that the US has spent and is spending the same effort to spy on China.
If there’s a history of the US stealing China’s proprietary intellectual property please post links. I wouldn’t want to be a simpleton
Jaime Dimon sees the price increases beginning in July, and ramping up all the way to October. We shall see what the next 3 or 4 months bring. I think this is the calm before the storm.
CPI 4% or greater would be very bad for the economy as well as our debt service costs.
Between Israel & Iran? I'll believe it when I see it. There have been rumors for weeks and months. Is Trump pumping the rumor mill more, or just that warning during the last week or two? More saber rattling or the real deal?
I’m not sure evacuating our embassy personnel is saber rattling. Iran reportedly hit 60% uranium enrichment last month. That number has always been Israel’s red line. Should knows whether this is real fairly soon
I don't know how Israel plans to hit anything in a quick strike that ends up being a slow strike, w/ our President spreading the word. They take everything underground with any kind of warning.
Those facilities needing to be destroyed are already underground. Missiles won’t do the job here. Going to take bombers with bunker busting bombs. This will take a major operation. If Israel is doing this it’s smart to get our people out first. This will get very ugly
Are stealth bombers capable of carrying her required payload? My guess is no. Israeli would need our help to take down Iran air defenses and possible fighter cover as well one would think. I assume if we’re evacuating personnel then we’ve already green lighted the operation …right ?
I would think we would evacuate whether we greenlighted the operation or were strongly against it. Either way we need to get our cilvilian and government officials out of the embassies. No way to know what Iran will do, no matter our position.
Do you believe Israel is capable of sending heavy bombers into the heart of Iraq and successful attack the most heavily defended complex in the country without our assistance ?
Not really but I think you need to change one letter on the country in question. I just don't know how much they would attempt to do, because they are in a rock in a hard place. Either way, us clearing out our embassies is not the signifier. Whether they would attempt it with or without our help is the signifier.
