Like clockwork, I knew you would repeat the cliche that Americans do that too. Of course there are some Americans do similar things. However the occurrence is orders of magnitude less frequent than the Chinese. The Chinese do it blatantly and shamelessly. I suppose you will attribute it to cultural difference. That is why plagiarism is so rampant amongst the Chinese. The question is statistically who is doing significantly more often and encouraged by the government. Every society has murder and rape. In one society the perpetrators are met with death penalty and long jail time. In another cannibalism and ravishing other's daughters are encouraged. You would say the two societies are equivalent since murder and rape occur in both. Is that not preposterous?
Again, like I said of your example, it is but one sector of industry. It does not cover other sectors. My experience in the financial sector tells the complete opposite story. You see only ODM/OEM sector, what about consumer electronics sector, what about other industries? Have you had experience in how big a portion in all of them? Again you claim you can only speak from the limitation of your own experience, and yet again you are claiming for the whole Chinese industry and all Chinese companies. Just read your claim "中国企业的..." then your supporting argument "因为在消费者电子这一领域..." You are generalizing from one small ODM/OEM sector to all Chinese industries. How does that not contradicting your primal claim of speaking ONLY of personal experience and not theorizing? And yet you deny my experience as unreal and only "hifalutin theory". How ironic.
Of course, not every Chinese is stealing. There are good ones. But just as you cherry pick some special examples, I have ample ones to counter them. Many of my colleagues at a large global investment bank I work for, and at other banks, told me at different occasions the same story. One team of them would go negotiate a deal or promote a product with a Chinese bank or fund. The Chinese would first either drag on the negotiation or even start collaborating until the foreign banks revealed all the technical details. Then the Chinese would suddenly break up the negotiation or just dump the foreign counter parties, with no or made up reasons. After a while, you would suddenly find the Chinese firm selling the same product or making the same deal that you proposed to them.
That is your definition of humble and honorable?

"美国是挑战的一方,中国是应战的一方。" Sure, in your dictionary, reneging contracts and stealing does not count as challenging. China or more accurately the Chinese communist party (CCP) government had breached all the commitments they made when gaining accession to WTO two decades ago. The commitments include opening the China market to most products including telecommunications and media, not coercing foreign firms into relinquishing majority control to the communist government when entering the China market, not coercing technology transfer in exchange for market access, lowering tariffs to the same levels of its trading partners, allowing media access including internet of the Chinese people, etc. None had been realized for two decades. Breaching contracts rather than "doing a better job at capitalism" as you say, destroys capitalism by definition. The tariff is a way to either give a chance to force a behavior change of the reneging party or disengage the transaction. This is amply reflected in the core demand of the US to CCP that they make "structural change" including legislations to protect private properties, including intellectual properties.
