in my class on chinese history we had to read a CFR article on this very topic, and how the usa anticipated the PRC joining the WTO would mean they would be hobbled enough to remain inferior for years… and then immediately started whinging and screaming in confusion when the PRC kept perverting the rules so they would still succeed. cracked me the fuck up because the article was like “WILL SOMEONE PLEEEEASE THINK OF THE POOR IP LAWS”
