Not intended as flame-bait, but:
In both Chinas and some other Asian countries anyone's intellectual property used to be stolen, copied, & redistributed, routinely, and without a second thought. Records & books in the 70's. Software more recently.
In the last ten years a lot of international pressure has changed this somewhat. Now that they have to pay for software they want to protect their own.
(Side note: Russia also uses their own security version of Linux for the military. Other countries would be well advised to create their own as well.)
Everybody sit back and watch the international fireworks show that is sure to follow.
