That's okay, you aren't paying royalties for using english which seems to be much more useful and reliable: <not paying royalty for ancient secret technology of fiat paper > Hopefully China will start inventing things again soon. The rate of invention wasn't very impressive even back in the day. The current invention of patenting lots of nothing isn't really invention. China is issuing lots and lots of patents, but that is more likely to be so that they can steal real technology by arguing as the GSM Guild of slimeballs did "Hey, we invented CDMA and so we can attach these bells and whistles to W-CDMA and jack the royalties up to 12% from Qualcomm's 4% for CDMA2000 technology which did the same thing better, sooner and cheaper". The Europoliticians ring-fenced Europe and kept the Euroserfs hostage to the GSM Cartel and to this day they pay those extorquerationate 12% royalties instead of the lowly 4% they could be doing. China got into the game with their dopey TD-SCDMA. They should have just been gung ho with Qualcomm in the CDMA2000 realm. Huawei would long ago have been top dog. China would be doing much better. Such is politics. Mqurice
