Im surprised you would say ridiculous. Its clear as day and indisputable.
Please note Chinese Government is stealing. Maybe giant corporations are as well. Every one is aware of China's actions. its over documented. Its theft plain and simple. You and I pay more here for products that costs more. Or you can give the thieves your money directly. There was mention of Cell Phones. Check out Huawei article below.
Im not knocking any particular industry or a USA decision to manufacture overseas. I just wont support on purpose by purchasing Chinese knives. I figure enough of my money is sent over there either by the product I buy here. I cant do it on purpose, I wont do it on purpose so I avoid when I can. I wont support thievery. I am surprised when I see all of the info regarding Mick Strider and his stolen valor. Well documented all over the place. A considerable amt of BF members avoid the brand completely. I dont support Strider either.
What I dont get is the support for Chinese knives despite the threat to everything with their non stop assault on IP. I know they are cheap. Its almost like because they are knife people making great knives for less than we can here that gives them a pardon. I dont dwell on it, I just dont purchase it at all possible.
I support ANY U.S company that manufacturers here. If it takes saving a bit more to do so I dont mind. The resell of say a CRK is almost the selling price of a new model. I dont think the return is the same on say a WE manufactured knife. Maybe I'm wrong, Im definitely not familiar with the brand.
The Department of Justice’s National Security Division Chief Addresses China’s Campaign to Steal U.S. Intellectual Property
Monday, August 24, 2020
On August 12, 2020, John Demers, the head of the National Security Division (NSD) at the Department of Justice (DOJ), spoke publicly about national security threats from China at an event sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC. In more candid remarks than typically provided in a public forum, Mr. Demers concentrated on China’s efforts to steal U.S. intellectual property (IP) from U.S. companies and other institutions, and how DOJ’s “China Initiative” seeks to counter this threat.
Today’s Altered Threat Environment
Mr. Demers reinforced that China is predominantly responsible for the theft of U.S. intellectual property, and that the insider threat is a growing problem:
- Over 80% of all cases charged as economic espionage (i.e., cases involving the theft of trade secrets by or on behalf of the Chinese government or its instrumentalities or agents) involve China, and 60% of all trade secret cases involve China.

The FBI director, Christopher Wray, told a conference the bureau currently had about 1,000 investigations open into Chinese technology theft across its 56 regional offices.
It’s well known that China steals IP and other secrets from industries, academia and the government, “but what is not so well known is how China converts the technology it acquires into their military capabilities,” he said at the DSEI Japan conference held near Tokyo.
It is first sent to one of China's two dozen advanced science universities. They in turn apply for Chinese patents on the technology. After they are acquired, the government distributes the patents to various companies.
One of the most notable recipients is telecommunications giant Huawei Industries, which has been under the microscope of U.S. regulators as the company attempts to role out its 5G technology.
Huawei “is one of the best examples of this problem,” Schneider said. It has acquired 56,000 5G and artificial intelligence-related Chinese patents despite spending a pittance on research and development, he added.
56,000 5G and AI intelligence patents!!!
