That's not accurate.

China has strong-armed companies into handing over trade secrets in exchange for market access.Only in some sectors will China let foreign firms operate through joint ventures,in which Chinese partners have the majority stake.



I can tell you that the company I worked for (since retired) bought a Chinese company and were only allowed a 49% share of it. The Chi Coms kept the rest.
