The claim that all technology needs the same IP law is insane. Embarrassing if that is actually the political consensus vs just the opinion of a lawyer.
Well written and interesting, in regards to this sentence ignores the structure of education systems: "The Chinese are graduating many more scientists and engineers every year than the United States", the structure if systems is very, very important to consider. The usa used to have a superior structure, The American Academe as we understand it was constructed after WW2 from the consolidation and centralization of the Old Republic's decentralized, diversified, and pluralistic academe, the legacy good of the old system took decades to wither away (not saying the current system is 100% bad but it mostly is and it could be far better with fairly apparent reforms), our centralization has produced grant cartels, and uses most scientists in the academe as slave labor (the long lengthed phd programs, if you go back to their origins, seems to be constructed not out of need but rather corrupt motives) part and parcel with it we have deep cartelization in our economy which inhibits science and engineering, things like the Bayh-dole act which decrease science and engineering, etc.. BTW, China under Xi has been deeply politically and economically centralizing in recent years, part and parcel with this has been to move their academe to the sorts of centralized model we have so as to make it more of a tool of special interests groups in the national center which means they may very well start to develop the same pathologies as ours soon.
