“Why don’t China care about western patents and copyright?”

You’re citing examples from the 6th, 4th, and 18th centuries and arguably the last one isn’t even about intellectual property
Even ignoring the blatant “what aboutism” if your justification for why it’s ok to steal video game ideas is because some Byzantians were mean to you 1400 years ago just know that nobody is going to take you seriously

If you think that historical context doesnt inform culture, you must be an American, in possession of neither.

So, you’re saying that it is the Chinese culture to steal from others because they were stolen from? That sounds racist as hell.

We used to just call that “pointing out hypocrisy” before Americans found a thought terminating phrase for it
DeusUmbra@lemmy.world 3 days ago
No, pointing out hypocrisy would be going “hey, didn’t you also blatantly rip off a popular product? Isn’t it hypocritical for you to criticize them for something you also have done?” What Aboutism is defined as: “the rhetorical practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation, by asking a different but related question, or by raising a different issue altogether. Whataboutism often serves to reduce the perceived plausibility or seriousness of the original accusation or question by suggesting that the person advancing it is hypocritical or that the responder’s misbehavior is not unique or unprecedented.” www.britannica.com/topic/whataboutism

“Issues with westerners” is an odd choice given that I’m Irish but ok.
It’s not my job to comfort American fragility. Genocide enablers are fair targets in all situations.
