Marco Rubio affirms that a large part of the advance achieved by China at a global level is due to the theft of intellectual property carried out for years
Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, is convinced that a large part of the advance achieved by China to become a global power has been achieved from d the theft of intellectual property, which should be one of the topics addressed during the meetings held by President Donald Trump with his counterpart Xi Jinping.
During an interview with Sean Hannity, a journalist for the Fox News television network, the Florida conservative mentioned that the Chinese have devoted themselves to replicating several projects developed successfully in the United States, pe They have done it without paying any kind of cost and, by powering them massively, their success in the global market has been enormous, relegating those who invested large amounts of money in developing them, that is, to their true creators.
“Many of the advances that have been seen in China's commercial sector, industrial sector,and technological sector are a product of rob or of intellectual property or of reverse engineering, which comes to be the same, of our own technology. That must be addressed,” he indicated.
From Rubio's perspective, it is far-fetched to stop the advance made by China, but it is necessary to make his government understand I think that its growth should be based on its own projects and not taking those developed by the United States, since that is a theft.
“We don't intend to stop China, but its rise cannot come at our expense. Its rise cannot come at the cost of our fall.
On the one hand, if they steal or appropriate what was cutting-edge five years ago, but what will be cutting-edge in a few years, we have "We must continue investing and promoting our companies so that they remain at the forefront and continue leading the world in innovation," he emphasized.
Marco Rubio considers that the Chinese project of leaving the United States behind has been started for years without restrictions being placed on them, a situation that should not continue.
“They believe that they will be the most powerful country in the world, that they will overtake the United States and they have a plan to achieve it. And they are carrying out that plan. We, on the other hand, don't see it that way,” he pointed out.
