And then the Chinese end up stealing any actual IP that may get the US company ahead by being there.

Also, is it still difficult to bring profits back to the US?

Damn'd if you do, dam'd if you don't.

Why do American companies have to rely on artificial protections like IP in order to compete? Don't forget it's only "stealing" if you're culturally inclined to see IP as actual property, whereas in China the idea has long been that ideas are common good, even predating Marxism.
