Well, the way all technology and industry is going over there, it won't be too long before they won't need to rip stuff off anymore, they'll able to make it themselves because all the innovation will be over there.

Yeah! If we're not careful the Chinese might seize control of our Space Transportation System and then we would have to rely on another nation to get astronauts into space.

Oh...wait.

Good, then the US can save a lot of money and steal technology. I am sick of everyone else stealing our technology and making money off it. It is time for other countries to invest THEIR money in R&D and we reap the benefits.

Taking into account that most likely Chinese companies will take care of producing that product or atleast act as major subcontractor I don't think Chinese government will mind very much. After all - somebody just refined a product they can copy!
