5. A cheering thought: "One area in which China’s policy can have an enormous impact is intellectual

property. The rules on patents and copyrights that the United States has sought to impose on the rest of the world are incredibly wasteful. This is most apparent in prescription drugs, where patent monopolies allow companies to charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars for drugs that would sell for $5-$10 in a free market."

Maybe China's policy could help put some brakes on those vampires (the legal drug companies).
