Is this a surprise to anyone? The Chinese have been ripping off everyone for a while now. It started with movies and music - now it's bigger items like autos. I watched them at the last Frankfurt show - taking pictures of every inch of several cars. How many pictures of a door handle do you need unless the intent is to copy it? This is the price of admission to produce product in the Chinese market...you want to play - you pay. Pay in risk of copying your technology, pay in losing the long term ability to manufacture after they learn how to sell without you. It's a scary proposition.
