Chinas Reverse EngineeringBy SN Bennett

What is Reverse Engineering?Reverse engineering is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation. It often involves taking something (e.g. a mechanical device, electronic component, or software program) apart and analyzing its workings in detail, used in maintenance or to try to make a new device or program that does the same thing without copying anything from the original.

So why does it matter?Interoperability Creation of unlicensed/unapproved duplicatesRemoval of copy protection, and access restrictions Product analysisLost documentationSecurity auditingAcademic/learning purposes

So how does China fit into this?
