IP theft will continue to be prosecuted - even though China's Emperor-controlled-media claims prosecuting ethnic Chinese for IP theft or espionage is racist. Americans aren't exempt from prosecution for theft or espionage no matter what your 23andMe test results are, and no matter how famous or rich you are. Even though the government of China and their whiny sycophants can provide endless rationalizations why they should be given a unique special entitlement to steal intellectual property, no one will ever grant them this special privilege, just as they would never grant anyone the privilege to steal Chinese IP property. Welcome to the real world which exists outside the echo-chamber of China's Emperor-bubble.

Hit-and-Run drunk-driving killer Puneet Puneet calls Australia racist for prosecuting him - 9news.com.au . The lawyer for hit-run driver Puneet Puneet, who killed a student in Melbourne in 2008 before fleeing to India, says his client would return to face justice if Victorian authorities guaranteed a maximum two-year jail term. Speaking from Delhi, lawyer Kanhaiya Kumar Singhal told The Herald Sun that Puneet was "ready to face justice", just "let the government of Australia give us an offer that he will be sentenced to a maximum of two years and surety of his safe life in jail. He will immediately surrender," Mr Singhal said. Indian hit-and-run driver Puneet Puneet cried out and sobbed at his extradition hearing in New Delhi Puneet fled Australia on a friend's passport after pleading guilty to culpable driving causing the death of student Dean Hofstee. Dean Hofstee and Clancy Coker were walking on a Melbourne sidewalk in 2008 when Puneet veered off the road while driving drunk at 150km/h. Hofstee died and Glaubert barely survived as Puneet fled the scene Puneet was arrested in India eight years later on his wedding day and has since attended dozens of extradition hearings to determine if he should be sent back to Australia. Mr Singhal said Puneet was concerned he would not be given due justice in Australia and had been told in 2008 he could be given a sentence of 20 to 30 years. "Murderers don't get such a sentence in India," the lawyer said. Puneet Puneet walks into court in New Delhi in 2005 In response to Mr Singhal's request, Victoria's Acting Attorney-General Gavin Jennings told the Herald Sun that Victoria's courts would decide on the appropriate punishment. "Puneet Puneet needs to return to Victoria to face the consequences of his actions, and we won't rest until justice is served," he said. Puneet is due to face court again in Delhi on July 15. Dean Hofstee pictured with friend Daniel Glaubert before his death At the extradition hearing Prosecutor Bhaskar Vali, on behalf of the Union of India, told the court that Puneet was granted bail by Magistrates Court in Melbourne in 2008 on conditions that he wouldn't travel outside Victoria, would not drive and have to surrender his passport. But despite the conditions, Puneet fled to India in 2009 on his friend Sukhcharanjit Singh’s passport. However, he was arrested four years later, on his wedding day. Citing Puneet’s friend Mr Singh’s statement to the police investigator, the prosecutor explained how Puneet managed to “dupe” his friend out of his passport. In his statement, Mr Singh claimed that Puneet took away his passport on the pretext of getting him a credit card. But later when he asked Puneet to return his passport on two counts, at first he told him that he would return his passport the following day and eventually said he was drunk and had lost the document, Mr Vali told the court while presenting his final arguments. The prosecutor also reproduced truck driver David Armstrong’s testimony who had witnessed the crash and saw Puneet driving at a “furious speed” and thought that "the driver was on a suicide mission". Mr Vali further told the court that there were inconsistencies in Puneet’s statements throughout the trial. He said Puneet initially claimed that he had consumed four standard measures of Scotch whisky with coke before the accident at a dinner hosted by his friend. He later changed his statement to the police and said he'd consumed light beer and black label whisky, Mr Vali informed the court.
