Patented Intellectual Property (IP): Why the West will Lose WWIII to China

They can't practice Shanzhai without violating IP Laws.  China (and Taiwan) don't have this problem.  Innovating on drones in the field and experimenting, THAT is Shanzhai!  
We need a PROsumer  based (Shanzhai) economy, NOT a CONsumer Based One!  IP Enforcement PREVENTS that necessary economic transition.  Intangible Assets constitute the bulk of a tech companies worth.  Neoliberalism is condemning the West into economic  irrelevance.  The West needs an IP-less freedom to innovate in real time!
Let the Workers Guilds Control Access to and Use of the IP for the 1st Year or Two of a Product's Life and Pay "Royalties" to the innovators (if need be)... not the Government Patent Offices and Legal System!  Keep the lawyers out of it until AFTER the product's usefulness as a "standard" has been established.
But we'll never legalize Shanzhai even for a little while. Western Billionaire Technofeudal Lords NEED their billions!
...and a Monopoly on AI to Out Innovate Shanzhai Competitors.

As long as focus rests on winning wars by destruction and death tolls rather than co-operative efforts across cultures and nations to improve the quality of life for folks everywhere nothing will ever change for the better.

America stands at the top of the problem along with the butchering Zionist state of Israel.

Yeah... one need to co-operate... with rabid dog.
And... if one can't -- blame it on one, NOT the dog.
Because rabid dogs, they are -- holy???

//butchering Zionist state of Israel.

Have uncle Shiclegruber in your family tree? One that proclaimed that idea about Jews being finally-solutioned?

What needed for that "Shanzhai" -- is population dencity and cultural diversity.

Which for USA, in short run, means opening borders and attract people from around the World.

Which you, as "nationalist", will never allow.

And even if you'll enlight to such need -- sheer public opinion WILL NOT give you any chance t( introd&ce such a politicak change. ;-p

PS Only one thing can. ;-)

Israel was an asset/ force multiplier at the beginning of the Iran Conflict. Now they're a liability, as Israel seeks to expand their "Greater Israel Project" and Trump tries to establish a more lasting peace.

So once again, Meden Agan, Les.

btw - Wasn't the America-Israeli alliance a cooperative effort, initially?

The opposition to Shanzhai is now, and ever will be, a priori capitalist interests who have opened up the borders to keep their labour costs down.

...and no, tech (like AI purchased with surplus capital) is an obstacle as well. It prevents consumers from becoming prosumers.

For some reason, America lets the Israeli's Shanzhai our products, but no one else.

One of my childhood friends growieng up now markets these to our DoW...

He used to sell these:

Boeing fighter jets, such as the F-15 and F/A-18, have utilized advanced Low-Profile Head-Up Displays (LPHUD) developed in collaboration with Elbit Systems to enhance situational awareness. These systems are designed to provide a streamlined, compact solution that frees up cockpit space for large-area displays (LAD).

Key Details of Boeing Fighter HUD Technology

Supplier: Boeing selected Elbit Systems to provide the LPHUD as part of their advanced cockpit systems.

Platform Integration: These displays are integrated into platforms like the F-15 and F/A-18 to improve pilot interaction and enable next-generation visual cueing.
Design: The LPHUD is characterized by its reduced size and shape compared to traditional HUDs, allowing more room for other critical avionics like the 11x19 inch Large Area Display (LAD).

Beyond Traditional HUDs: While traditional HUDs project data onto a glass panel, some modern platforms (like the F-35) have moved toward integrated Helmet-Mounted Display Systems (HMDS) that project information directly onto the pilot's visor.

Context on VLSI and Displays

While "VLSI" (Very Large Scale Integration) refers to the process of creating integrated circuits, it is the underlying technology that powers the high-speed processing and complex circuitry required for modern fighter jet displays and helmet-mounted systems. The shift toward digital, LED-based, and low-profile systems represents the evolution of these technologies in demanding combat environments.


He gave me a Boeing carry bag for the helmet that I now use to stash clothes in my car with. ;)

I used to have ski boots that you stepped into from the back. The snaps were all on the heel and calf. They were much easier to get on (like the helmet video you posted).
