Based on an interesting read in Oliver Zhang’s Re: The most famous copycat in China — Tencent, there was a dilemma that he questions that is, since China has banned social media network such as twitter and Facebook and has a company that creates such social media, would it still be unethical or is it acceptable since it is the only way the people in China to enjoy such facilities? I find that this question to be situated at the cliff-hanger of ethicality, one could question that without the piracy of these social media, the Chinese people in China would not be able to express themselves like the rest of the world but if it were to be allowed, should there be other companies in other county besides China to copy ideas and create goods that are similar to brands popular in other parts of the world which have patented and is supposedly against the law to do so.

I believe the reason that these companies are allowed to operate freely without any action from the government and companies where these brands originate from because of the lack of power they hold among the consumers in China and the power that the Chinese people are currently and increasingly holding in the global market.

At the end of the day, it is how one feels when committing piracy and not the law that can help slow down piracy in country because it cannot stop them unless they are willing to change themselves.
