As tales of blueberry fortunes spread, Chinese entrepreneurs rapidly built farms of their own. They adopted high-tech growing techniques similar to Driscoll’s, even allegedly copying greenhouse designs used by farmers growing for Driscoll’s. They also swiped the company’s patent-protected varieties, a Chinese court has ruled. State banks fed the rush, offering a special category of loans for blueberry growers.
...
Western blueberry companies started noticing that some Chinese competitors were growing what appeared to be unlicensed versions of the premium variety Driscoll’s was paying for, according to people in the industry and an International Blueberry Organization report.
...
Domestic growers could get unlicensed plants easily, according to those people and subsequent rulings by Chinese courts in lawsuits that alleged unlicensed cultivation. All they had to do was obtain cuttings from berry plants on existing farms, then reproduce them.
...
An employee of the Yunnan company explained in WeChat messages to Planasa’s undercover investigator that, in addition to having the Blue Maldiva variety, his company had “pulled some strings” to obtain Eureka Sunrise plant cuttings from a Driscoll’s farm.
“Of course it was done secretly, because their variety is protected and they would never just give it to us,” said the employee, according to a message contained in the court record of a case Planasa brought in China against the grower.
1. Fuck patenting plants, seeds, all of that.
2. Anyone eating food from China might as well mainline pure sewage.
I can't wait for Trump to absolutely STICK it to commie Xi Jinping at their "summit" next week regarding Chinese spying, hacking, their support of Iran, their support of Russia in its war against Ukraine, etc.

We can all agree that he won't do anything of the sort. The point is to reiterate that you cannot trust China.

Are you a moron or do you just play one on a message board?
Trump's name literally appears in the thread title.
A more apt title might have been "TACO with China, Xi is a commie asshole."

LOL...you were the one who didn't get the "China Asshoe" reference, as evidenced below.
@jdb I don't understand the thread title.

Viral interview pre-COVID during HK protests
Then you still took it off on a Trump tangent.
All further posts by you in this thread, including the most recent are you proving that you are a humorless proggy, and a Trump obsessed one at that.
