China is advancing rapidly because they don't give a fuck about patents or copyrights. It's the opposite of what is happening here

I'm not sure if I'd classify their arguably crippled Linux distribution as an advance. There are many english version distributions that are xp-like, or can use an xp-like desktop environment.

The copyright and patent system are broken as hell. It's supposed to make sure that people who have new ideas get some money for them, instead it's being used to suppress new ideas by not allowing people to use existing knowledge. So go China, fuck copyright and patent laws. They retard human progress by making it illegal to build on what already exists.
