Chinese draft law would prevent forced technology transfers:

A draft law aiming at protecting foreign investment and preventing the forced transfer of technology has been submitted for review at a Chinese legislators' meeting starting Sunday, People's Daily reported.

The country will protect the intellectual property rights of overseas investors, encourage voluntary technology transfers but forbid forced transfers using administrative measures, Minister of Justice Fu Zhenghua told lawmakers, according to the newspaper.

    They will just be uh... 'voluntary'...so to speak

    Like, 'you wouldn't want anything happen to that business opportunity..it would be a shame if your products just rusted on the docks waiting for customs approval... it would be terrible if your distribution center continued to fail to pass 'inspection' and could not accept any shipments.. ;-) nudge nudge wink wink ;-)

    I think voluntary here means that it will be encouraging open source, the model shenzhen thrives on. The carve out is to avoid making GPL "forced transfers" illegal. The U.S.'s real goal in attacking china is to stomp out open source which threatens the elite's wealth.
