"Most of us don’t own lots of stock in Microsoft, Disney or Boeing, so why should we be bothered if China doesn’t respect these companies’ claims to patents, copyrights and other forms of intellectual property?"

Considering the amount of funds and indexes that own these companies, I'm pretty sure most of us own these companies.

Meh.

I guess it's fair for China to steal our ideas and technology.

After all, we stole 1. firecrackers 2. chopsticks 3. noodles 4. tea from them.

Well, not really "we" stole their technology, rather the West did.
