It's going to be a real issue.. if you are developing say some new tech and you go to fund raise to commercialise it, the first thing serious investors do is get an IP lawyer to ensure there are no possible future IP claims. All these BS Chinese submissions can count as potential claims on that new tech. Now, you can sue the Chinese scientists but that requires disclosure of your own research, and investors will just run away. Net result you either end up showing them your IP for them to copy to win, or you don't get funding. Either way, they can F up whole new fields of science and development. AI probably could do too but I'm just talking China as thats as far as my knowledge extends.

Gotcha... Well this kind of strategy sounds effective and pathetic. Does china respect the ip of other nations scientific discoveries in the same way?

If you think that the US hasn’t filed thousands of patents on this(even theoretical ones) your out of your minds. This is all military posturing. Just like Russia and China’s hypersonic missiles that no one has seen outside of their militaries.

I agree to a point.

In terms of the hypersonic missiles, they do... it's just that the media isn't savvy enough to realise anything ballistic is also hypersonic. SpaceX Rockets are hypersonic. The point with "hypersonic" missiles is their ability to manoeuvre and cruise around the globe. Those the Russians and Chinese do not have yet... we do.
