You can lob accusations of "childishness" and "Grumpy Old Men" all you want, or you can do a simple GOOGLE search and read all about it. Chinese theft of Western companies technology has been occuring for decades now, its nothing new or surprising if you bother'd to keep up with current Events. Its not xenophobia buddy, its easily verifiable Facts.
MAVIC going belly up just might be an internal mis-Management Issue , or it might be due to Unfair Market competition from Asian goods. One thing is certain, Well established Western Companies have continued to lose Market share to Asian Companies for many years now and have been put out of Business,,and its not going to stop any time soon.
