    I’m not trolling though? You yourself stated elsewhere in this thread that the US Patent system is a farce, and based off the fact that they granted Lenovo a patent on scrolling directions on a trackpad I think it only further proves your point.

    It is also no big secret that the Chinese government exercises a fair amount of control over the companies that operate within its borders, and that the CCP takes particular issue over Taiwanese independence.

      That has nothing to do with your claim that this is some kind of proxy war between China and Taiwan. Tech companies sue each other for this kind of shit all the time. Were the Apple-Samsung lawsuits secretly a proxy war between the US and Korea? No? Then why would this be?

      And you think part of this grand plan is a minor patent scuffle between two laptop OEMs? On what planet does that make sense? If China wanted to do something to Taiwanese tech companies, they could do so far more directly.

      Put on your tinfoil hat and stay in your mom’s basement. What a stupid comment!

      Is this why blackholes exist too? Can CCP throw you into one? You are obviously the publicly enemy number 10384937, CCP must hate you to guts.

        Yep, 53 million companies in China are under direct control of Xi. He works 38,000 hours a day.
