None whatsoever. Since 2018 China has been the number 1 patent filer for the last 7 years (so literally the most innovative country every year for the last 10 years)
According to a World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) report in 2017, the number of invention patent applications filed to China's State Intellectual Property Office exceeded 1.3 million, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years.
The other issue the Amerifats cry about is "forced technology transfer". Except it's not actually forced. China didn't beg for Apple/Microsoft and all the other companies to move their production to China.
If you want to do business in China you have to sign onto a joint venture program which are negotiated like any business deal. In many instances, yes, your technology gets siphoned off to the Chinese state who immediately push this tech into State owned companies.
This is good and based but no one forced Steve Jobs or Bill Gates or the millions of companies that were attracted to China so they didn't have to deal with local unions/environmental laws or labour protections to move their production to China and you can bet they had the worlds best lawyers looking over those documents, understanding the implications but thinking this'll be good for next years quarterly profits anyway

Are there no unions, labour protections or environmental laws in China?
