So much cope in the comments "Chyna is 40 years behind us!" and "It's easy to do when you steal!" I'm like brother look at Shenzhen and compare it to ANY US city.
“Easy to do when you steal”, is pretty fucking rich coming from someone defending US tech companies.
Also reveals that le epic science redditors don't actually care about science and human advancement. Everything is "stolen" in science, in that it builds on something someone else developed before you. Technological advancements have been getting "stolen" (sometimes more literally, other times more "ethically" or legitimately) since we were knapping rocks.
Newton's original physics and calculus methods SUCK compared to modern physics (specifically "classical") and calculus methods, because we've had like 300 years to improve it. But you know redditors/westerners would be first to say Einstein stole from Westerners if he were East Asian.
Also goes to show that the whole modern techbro "open source" knowledge thing isn't out of principle. Its to outsource labor whenever the labor doesn't produce an immediate value. Techbros should be happy the Chinese devs made it open source, because THEY CAN USE IT TOO. But nope, because they can't solely profit off it, they're mad.
They really do apply different rules to AES. China is expected to reinvent mathematics to prove 1 + 1 = 2 or else it is stealing Western research
