80% Foreigners Have Left Shanghai, FDI Falls for 12th Consecutive Month

  • Some Shanghai netizens discovered that the number of registered students in international schools and housing rental data show a sharp decline in the foreign population, possibly exceeding 80%. In areas where foreigners used to live, there are visibly fewer foreigners, especially Westerners from Europe and America. This phenomenon is not only seen in Shanghai but also in other major cities and economically strong second-tier cities. The main reason for this is the withdrawal of many foreign enterprises and investment companies, leading foreign managers and technicians from Europe and America to return home.

    Frenchman here. As a French engineer I worked in China Shanghai, Nanjing Beijing. At the time there was a China dynamic for openness. Since a few years, since the pandemic (and the extremist policy of Zero Covid), since the war in Ukraine (where China sided with the Russian invador), since a form of supremacy, threatening neighbours like Taiwan for us westerners, life cannot continue like before. Now that there is an increased mistrust. Investing in China is good ONLY if there is respect of the external property (licences, patents, etc).

      The number of effective invention patents owned by foreign applicants in China exceeded 900,000 last year, an increase of nearly 5 percent year on year. The trademark sector has also grown, with the number of valid trademark registrations by foreign applicants in China surpassing 2.1 million, marking a year-on-year increase of 3.4 percent.
      This growth indicates foreign enterprises' confidence in China's intellectual property (IP) protection, said Shen Changyu, head of the CNIPA, during a recent symposium attended by 11 foreign-funded enterprises, including AstraZeneca, Ford Motor, LEGO and Tesla.
      The US complains that others steal its technology, but America was once a tech pirate itself. Even U.S based companies steal tech from others.
      Some examples.
      A Los Angeles jury ordered Apple and Broadcom to pay $1.1 billion to a California university for infringing wifi technology patents in what is thought to be one of the largest patent verdicts ever.
      Apple was ordered to pay $837 million and Broadcom must pay $270 million to the California Institute of Technology.
      Alphabet's Google must pay patent holding company Personal Audio LLC $15.1 million (nearly Rs. 120 crore) for infringing two patents related to audio software, a Delaware federal jury said in a verdict
      Sonos also sued Google for stealing tech and Google had to pay 32 million dollars. Sonos has accused Amazon of stealing the same technologies for use in its Echo audio systems. Additionally, in 2020, a federal jury ordered Amazon to pay $5 million to Texas-based Vocalife for infringing on its patents to make Echo.
      .
      May 23 (Reuters) - Chipmaker Micron Technology (MU.O), opens new tab owes computer-memory company Netlist (NLST.PK), opens new tab $445 million in damages for violating Netlist's patent rights in memory-module technology for high-performance computing, a U.S. jury said on Thursday.
      Verizon Wireless must pay $847 million after a Texas federal jury determined Friday that elements of its 5G wireless networks, smartphone hot spots, wireless home routers, and MiFi devices infringe another company’s patented technology.
      The number of IP lawsuits in the USA rose in 2020 for the first time since 2015, and court awards rose to $4.67 billion from just $1.5 billion in 2019

The companies willingly sign the agreements that gives the Chinese company the right to produce copies or versions of products for their own market.
