No surprise, given the Chinese are experts at jumping on and using information, how much potentially exploitable information will be released before patents are in place to protect its use and abuse?

The PRC's a remarkably large generator of patents - not totally surprising, given the huge efforts they've put into developing both research capacity and domestic IP regulation. https://www.wipo.int/ipstats/en/statistics/country_profile/profile.jsp?code=CN I'd imagine they're now as much at risk from IP theft and patent squatting as any other country.
