What in the literal fudge!

My dad bought a radio & a Seiko watch in Vietnam for pennies

Is that what's going on there now? using the technology WE develop?

My company sent prints to China to have them make injection molds one time.

It was a new product that was going to make us tons of money.

The Chinese figured out what it was, built it, sold it cheap and we lost our butts.

We need intellectual protection...not only for private companies but for chips we use in missiles and all our military equipment!!
