Protectionism name of the game US plays

The United States has accused China of "coercive technology transfer" and "infringing upon" its intellectual property rights and interests, but without presenting any evidence. To reach a preconceived conclusion, the US is on a "fault-finding mission" that gives short shrift to facts and logic.

For instance, the report of the investigation against China under Section 301 of the US Trade Act of 1974 is nothing but another example of the US' customary tactics of using IPR as a pretext to take protectionist measures.

The report says China uses rubber stamps to force US enterprises to transfer technology. But the fact is, China replaced the approval system with a negative list four years ago, and has not made technology transfer a prerequisite for foreign enterprises to get the green light for doing business in China.
