U.S. hits China for unfair trading By WARREN VIETH Los Angeles Times abs-cbnnews.com ========================== as if the US does not steal technology from China. The other day I read that China first invented laser-proof eye glasses for military use back in 1980s during the border conflict with Vietnam, and the US DOD knew it immediately, and sent a delegation to China, suggesting to set up a joint adventure for it. And China said producing it jointly was ok, but not going to transfer the technology. And they even signed an intention agreement. But at the same time CIA sent some Chinese spy they "bought", and that guy went to the Chinese factory on a weekend, and took the pictures of the whole production line, and bought a couple of dozens laser-proof eye glasses. Soon after, the US applied the International patent for the glasses, and never mentioned about that already signed intention agreement. This is just one story how China invented the technology and could not even get the so-called international patent protection. I bet there are plenty more.
