It’s a jingoistic caricature. I’m not informed enough to know the difference what the difference between standards are for products of the two countries.

I do agree there is a common sentiment that Chinese products are inferior to their American counterparts. If China or the USA want to steal product specs from each other to make better products that we end up buying, cool. I’d rather buy better products and I’m sure you would too.

I was coming at it more from the standpoint that undercutting the US by taking its IP (i.e. not actually impoverishing members of the general population) is a good thing for the world, but your point is also fair.

I completely agree. I hate most IP laws because I believe it stifles progress that we as a human race can all benefit from. There are of course exceptions but none really come to mind right now. No one should have to go hungry so someone else can have more money than they know what to do with.
