I don't because I am not chinese and will not share in the wealth of such enterprising behaviour. You can never become a chinese citizen unless you are born there. Never.

So you want them to remain poor and primitive just because you can't cash in on their success? That's... not very nice.

Life is cruel. You have one piece of toilet paper. Will you use it for yourself or give to a stranger?

Except it isn't and we have more than one piece of toilet paper. China innovating doesn't hurt you. In fact it could help just like collaborating with the Russians helped our space program in the past.

The resources of the world are finite (as is it's energy allowance), so i'm afraid that toilet paper supply is indeed limited. You're about to see this in a very real way as food prices dramatically increase in the following years.

Perhaps, but the best way to deal with it would to work together. Not wasting resources fighting each other.
