re <<In 2010, China announced plans to require Western companies doing business in China to turn over sensitive technologies and patents to Chinese competitors in exchange for access to the country's markets.>> the policy even if not enunciated had been in place since 1982, from the get-go, and there had always been willing sellers, i.e. Ericsson, Motorola, GE, GM, ... and there were some unwilling sellers who decided to ring-fence China, i.e. Gencor (bio leaching of gold) of S.Africa, polysilicon players, etc etc on the whole, the former group did much better than the latter, because China gets what is needed irrespective of willingness to cooperate, because there are always willing sellers, to leverage China scale.

You talk like a toilet bowl, full of shit. The hacking agreement and mutual extradition is most certainly being enforced and continues to be monitored by the FBI Cyber Division. It's a difficult tact to follow in a free economy trying to tell private businesses what contracts they can and can't sign. It will be particularly helpful if US businesses suddenly decide IP sharing agreements are repugnant enough to last out a trade war, because these businesses are the ones who are complaining about the incipient trade war. Of course in your ideal vision of dictatorship, all American businessmen will be forced to kow-tow to all of Trump's many government mandates. In reality it's the Pentagon and their affiliates who opposes the IP sharing agreements, because very few complaints are actually coming from those businesses signing these agreements. IP sharing requirements can be addressed - if Trump and businesses lets John Bolton handle that. But Donald Trump weirdly miscast John Bolton as National Security Advisor - something he knows little or nothing about - because of course that's what Donald Trump did.
