Why do Chinese people rip off everything?

[Salandrin]

They take other movies, games, or anime, plaster their own ghetto spin on it, and then call it their own property, and there's normally nothing the original owners can do about it. Why do they this? It's ridiculous.

[Forgettable]

Are you referring to something specific?

[s_bushido]

Nah, this isn't blatant at all...

[Dirdie]

Are u mad or somthing?

[lopk]

Only the Chinese do this. They also don't have anything that's original. Yes yes.

Welcome to ah, maybe, 20 years ago? Perhaps even longer. It's the whole "America is awesome!" idea except used to market their stuff.

Because it's profitable.

More important questions should be asked. Such as, why do movies continue to use multiple of the same cliches even though people are sick of it? Why do games try to be unique an different by meshing multiple of already used game mechanics to create a monstrosity that will fall flat? Why is anime becoming more sexist, homoerotic, and "over the top" when a clear line shows that older anime is still worshiped by weaboos worldwide whilst newer anime becomes forgot?

The list never ends.

well you know china is closed country, that is pretty much only way for most of their people to get some culture from outside.

Look up China in the Index of Economic Freedom.

It's a country currently under totalitarian/oligarchigal rule, with a culture and state that deeply disrespect property rights, yet with access to Western technology. Result: the land of cheap knockoffs.

We don't need derogatory generalisation threads here.
