How do you propose keeping a population of a billion people from industrializing? And to expand on that what right do you have to interfere?
Good questions.
You can't, unless you bomb them and the rest of us into oblivion. And the *supposed* rules of the world are that given China is a sovereign country no one else has the right to interfere.
In any case, they are mostly using the same playbook that the US used against England during the 18th century to become an industrial age power house:
Obtain knowledge, ignore other countries IP rights, innovate, to exceed capabilities of adversaries.
NOTE: Venezuela is also a sovereign country. And that is not stopping the US from violating international law while pardoning Cocaine drug kingpins who have shipped hundreds of tons of Cocaine into the US,
At this rate, the rest of the world is going to form a World-wide version of NATO to stop any country in the World from becoming a "bad actor," should it go rogue and attack another.
