Companies like CA use predictive analytics and behavioral sciences to draw trends based on user data, which can go a long way in influencing voters. CA worked with presidential candidate Donald Trump during the last US elections. “Analysing millions of data points, we consistently identified the most persuadable voters and the issues they cared about. We then sent targeted messages to them at key times in order to move them to action,” the company’s website says about the US polls. |

"The transfer of technologies to Chinese joint-venture partners is a condition for entering the Chinese market, not ‘forcing’ them as its critics would like the world to believe. Foreign firms have a choice of whether or not to invest in China! China is not the only country that imposes conditions on foreign investment; Japan and Western nations do the same.
Getting into the China market in exchange for sharing their technology was a deliberate business decision for profit and cheap labor/manufacturing cost, NO chinese coercion was involved.
You want to play in the China market, you go by their rules. If you can’t abide by their rules, don’t enter (Bil Gates)
The point about IP is that it’s a dynamic, ever-changing asset. The owner of IP can profit by sharing it via joint venture or license. IP can also leak away, as employees leave the company, for example. Competitors can copy and reverse engineer to achieve the same ends.
Everybody steals IP from everybody else. China was not the first nor will be the last. Whoever is more advanced, that country is more likely to be the target for IP theft.
China is making significant technological advances now and soon it will be the target to steal from.
American hi tech companies steal from each other all the time. They are the best qualified to advise how to counter and guard against the theft of IP.
The so called forced transfer of technology was also done by Korea, Taiwan and Japan. In fact Japan was much more restrictive than China. How many U.S. cars are sold in Japan? Don’t tell me on how good Japanese cars are. In the 1970’s Japanese cars were small and crapy and yet U.S. did not sell many cars in Japan. Taiwan for a long time had prohibited high tariffs on Japanese cars due to the residue feeling from WWII." -- From: Daniel Maraamu (Asia Times) |
