I care little about that at this point to be honest with you …
The alternative is that these innovating companies would have milked the IP and/or shelved it if it means more money, fuck the people, fuck the environment, etc etc etc
If China’s IP theft brings the green revolution we knew we needed 50 years ago but the innovators sabotaged for profit, I’d consider China the robin Hood of the story
The “Chinese steal everything and are expert copy-cats” is an orientalist trope with a few hundred years of history. White supremacists are still repeating it to this day, and in this thread.
As other people have said, it doesn’t really matter as long as it helps solve climate change. Boo hoo, western corporations didn’t get to overcharge for stuff, big deal.

Didn’t get to continue to over charge us until the world literally ends for humans…
