I think you better quit arguing on this subject because you are talking to someone who has much better knowledge in this field than you. It does not look good for you if you continue.

How many chinese know what a patent is? 1 in a hundred, 1 in a thousand? Does it matter (for them, of course)? |
Even you don't know the difference between invention and innovation. You are talking some numbers that are from your imagination. Check this list and you will find that the number of international patent filling per capita of China is four times of that of Romania in 2007.

There's a reason for this. There's a reason for mercedes clones as well. You ignore this fact by telling me that this has nothing to do with freedom of speach or eternal party at power. Ok, let's say you are right. But then, why there are not so many great products designed in China and manufactured in San Francisco :P, especially when you have so many start-ups, 1,2 BILLION people and of course, when "this fable can not stand careful examination based on facts", "a greatest fable and lie in the west media beeing that you need political freedom and democracy in order to have innovation."

Communism was responsible for only a small part of China's failing in last two centuries. Before communist took power in China, China even could not make a bicycle. That was why Japanese dared to invade China. Romania actually was quite good and was able to make fighter plane before WWII.
