while Huawei just stole the results of Nortel’s R&D and then had CCP subsidies for the production.
China requires that all companies entering their market share their technology with Chinese firms, any company planning to enter the Chinese market know that.
In other words, Nortel (and others companies who set shop in China) willingly shared their tech with China in exchange for being allowed to operate in the country, so saying China stole the technology is extremely dishonest.
Can you explain? I’m not really good at catching the subtleties of language through text.
IMO the commenter is not at all close to getting it because the Canadian firm would have patented their innovation and produced it in a country that has the kind of IP laws they expect, so their innovation would have reaped a great reward instead of getting copied and put them out of business.
Em adespotom here is implying that the company had to go to China to complete with other Canadian companies in the same business and that China is somehow to blame for this.
But the thing is, if the conditions of the CANADIAN market force Canadian companies to go to China to be competitive, then it’s not really China’s fault now is it?!
Just drop the china bad brainrot and you’ll be onto something.
The peoples who say that there is slave labor in china, let alone that it is commonly used by corporations there have never provided evidences of such a thing as far as I am aware. If you think there is slave labor in china you need to prove that.
As for the lack of environnemental regulations, I don’t know chinese law enouth to deny it with full confidence but given the tremendous governmental effort in green tech that has made them wold leader in renewable, electric cars and more I find that unlikely to be the case.
The explaination is more simply that chinese labor is way cheaper than western labor while at the same time way more industialized than other places with cheap labor like india and has also fully or almost fully integrated supply chains that make production as a whole cheaper.
As for IP law, again I don’t know enought of chinese law to say exactly how it works but they have indeed no reason to follow western IP laws.
Nortel wasn’t killed by Huawei stealing their IP, which certainly did happen. They tanked themselves with some terrible accounting that hid the terrible situation they put themselves in. Nortel and Enron are the reason GAAP is the gold standard and legally required to be reported these days.

Interesting story. I wonder what would have happened if Nortel produced the phones in Canada.
In that era, someone else in the telecoms business would have gone to China for production to compete with Nortel.
Results likely wouldn’t have been all that different.
You are so close to getting it

Hmm; I wish the mods told me why they removed my comment so I don’t do it again.
