Lets be fair too.

When the USA was early on, before and during the War of Independence, we routinely ignored the set of IP laws from European countries.

And China DOES enforce IP laws in China. They just don't enforce USA copyright laws, cause it's not the USA. And The USA doesn't enforce Chinese IP laws.

Eventually, the IP laws will be mutually respected. It'll take time. But in the meantime, this is more a trade dispute. That means that larger vendors need to be legally forced to stop shipment and sale of said violating items, and CBP needs to do more in stopping shipments coming in-country.

Stretching the expected whataboutism to before the US actually existed as a country is friggin' hilarious.

Yes, oddly the the US does enforce the CCP's "Chinese companies automatically win" laws. How strange.
