Patents are designed to protect innovators. It appears on the face of it that Americans created an innovation and the Chinese stole it. Happens every day.
To be fair, like airplanes and lightbulbs there's only one obvious design for this kind of product and its time has come. It is possible it was invented at the same time by multiple entities.
How is this a patent violation? I remember seeing a DIY version of a one-wheeled segway (a self-balancing unicycle) years ago. This concept isn't novel.
