This is nothing new for the Chinese. They make big profits stealing intellectual property from everyone else in the world.

The nation, like many emerging nations, ignores copyright laws and concepts with daily actions. This is a standard for China, we have ignored this too long, as we did with Japan, Indo-China and Korea before and as we now do with India.

It was only a matter of time before Chinese current events made their way into the American consciousness, pushing aside our own small town news, They own our capital, they work at our old jobs and now their news filler content appears in our media, We are officially a Chinese colony,

>> "We are officially a Chinese colony."

I hope that was in jest. The happenings of China are hardly threatening the human interest stories that clog the local evening news. You will still have plenty of reports about last night's rainstorm that flooded the hardware store and you won't be missing your high school football scores. The fact that you acknowledge China's presence in our political and economic lives shows that we probably would do well to know a little bit more about the country. This story is actually very telling in that it is SO normal. If Americans are made more aware of the rampant intellectual dishonesty in China, it might help shape our policies and attitudes, for better or for worse and in all areas (business, education, etc).

Chinese and plagiarism is synonymous. So, what's the big deal?

Please everything that comes in one sentence has already been said throughout the ages by others without knowing it was already said. How many times people SAY THE SAME THING?

He should come on over here. I'm sure there's plenty of room in the GOP "big tent" for him.

Did he use Wikipedia like that other author did or do they filter it out in China?

Almost all students in China plagiarize. What is the story here?
