There are other cheap places to manufacture electronics, and if they didn't value their IP secrets they wouldn't have patents and protections, sue other companies and whatnot.

Perhaps we receive different news but every one I saw were saying he would trigger it, even more during the threats to NK.

Those other places aren't as cheap as China apparently, hence why companies take the risk. None of this means that companies don't care about their IPs, what it means is that they put low production costs over IP protection. This isn't an all or nothing, it's a matter of priorities.

You perceive situations different to the majority in lots of situations, so I don't expect it to be any different in this case. In this thread there was already the news posted that Trump agreed to a ceasefire with China in the trade war due to experts warning him about further damage to the global economy. Still, you didn't want to believe that economists are outspoken against the trade war with China.

So you are going to say that it was just me that saw most newspapers putting Trump as "the biggest threat to democracy in USA ever"?

I'm pretty sure they do a risk analysis and decide that the benefit of low cost was higher than the risk of having products copied. But the way that was originally put was like they would rather lose all their IPs than to have higher costs.
