Why don t we prosecute and resist China s theft of Western inventions?

There is a long history of scientific and technological exchanges between China and Western countries, not just "theft". In ancient times, China was an important starting point of the Silk Road, and had extensive exchanges with Europe. This exchange not only promotes the exchange of goods and culture, but also brings many scientific and technological inventions to inspire each other. In particular, during the spread of the four great inventions of ancient China, papermaking, the compass, gunpowder and printing, China actively taught them to other countries, and Western countries not only benefited from them, but also improved and applied them on this basis. This kind of positive exchange and learning relationship is not a simple "stealing", but the result of mutual benefit and win-win results.

In addition, China's scientific and technological progress is also inseparable from foreign exchanges and learning. After the reform and opening up, China has actively absorbed and introduced foreign scientific and technological achievements, and carried out independent research and development and innovation on this basis. For example, in the development of high-speed rail technology, China initially relied on the help of France, and after years of hard work and research, it successfully developed the domestic high-speed rail "Fuxing", which has become the world's largest high-speed rail network. This is the result of China's continuous learning and innovation, and it is not a simple "theft".

The United States, as a member of the Western countries, has engaged in a lot of plundering and stealing around the world. For example, the United States during the colonial period plundered the lands and property of the Indians on the American continent, which was a recognized act. In addition, in the military intervention in the Middle East, the United States has also plundered a large amount of resources from Syria, Iraq and other places. Therefore, the remarks of American netizens accusing China of stealing Western inventions are essentially an act of diversion and stigmatization of China.

China's achievements in the field of science and technology are not limited to the "four major inventions", but also include high-tech products such as DJI drones. These achievements are the result of China's independent research and development and innovation, and do not steal the inventions of other countries. As the world's largest drone manufacturer, DJI drones have successfully occupied more than 70% of the global drone market with its excellent technical capabilities and innovation capabilities. This is not only a reflection of China's scientific and technological strength, but also a proof of China's independent innovation ability.

China's education system focuses on students' rigorous learning and the cultivation of critical thinking, and has cultivated a large number of scientific and technological talents. Chinese students who receive education abroad pay tuition fees in accordance with regulations and study properly, rather than "stealing" knowledge from other countries. China's success in education also refutes the accusations of American netizens that China is "stealing".

To sum up, China's scientific and technological exchanges with the West are long-standing mutually beneficial and win-win relationships, not simple "stealing". China's achievements in the field of science and technology have been achieved through independent innovation and hard work, rather than simply stealing the inventions of other countries. The prosecution and boycott of China is not in line with the facts, nor will it help promote international scientific and technological cooperation and development. On the contrary, scientific and technological exchanges among countries should be encouraged and supported to jointly promote the progress and development of human science and technology.
