Not really. Something like 85% of all videogames and software in China are pirated. China is going up the technology ladder in record time, investing in its industrial base, creating domestic tech standards, and carefully protecting local industries until they're ready to compete globally.

My guess is, China doesn't want to rock the geopolitical boat just yet.
