They bought Germany’s Transrapid — so it wasn’t stolen
他們買德國的磁懸浮列車，不是偷來的

Sure no .. and now china is supporting many countries with technology of high speed train
當然不是偷的
如今，中國向許多國家提供高鐵技術呢

Knowledge or technologies is not something can be stolen.
知識或者說技術不能說是偷來的。
If you have a bread, I steal the bread, then you lost the bread and I have it. You can call this as “stolen”, because you lost the item which you owned.
有一塊麵包，我偷走了，你沒有了這塊麵包，被我偷走了。
你可以說是“偷”，因為你損失了一塊麵包。
But you have a knowledge/knowledges, I can learn from you. You did not lost anything, both of us can improve the knowledge and even cooperation to bring out better technologies.
而你的技術，我可以向你學習。
你並沒有失去任何東西，我們可以共同改進技術。
Learn from others and improve it, this is how the human society get to this point today. Once China catch up the gap and nothing ahead to learn anymore, then China will invent new stuffs and others can learn.
向別人學習，然後加以改進，人類就是這樣走到今天的。
一旦趕上來，中國就能發明新東西，然後其他國家模仿。

No. China paid for the IP of HSR technology. Otherwise, Germany and other countries will sue China for copyright infringement.
不，中國買了高鐵技術，否則德國等國家會起訴中國侵權的。

No, China bought high speed rail technologies from many foreign companies in a legitimate way.
中國是通過合法途徑從國外公司購買高鐵技術的

Usually there is an requirement, if a foreign company wants to sell or manufacture its products in China, that it has to give the Chinese government all manufacturing data, so that the Chinese can then build this product themselves and sell it under their own name as a competitor. I have heard of several companies from Germany, which decided that the possible number of sales were not worth it if they had to develop a competitor, who would later push them out of the market.
通常來說，如果外國公司想要向中國兜售產品，那麼就必須轉讓技術。
好讓中國公司有能力自主生產。
我聽說過幾家德國公司，這些公司覺得預期的銷售額不大，划不來培養一個競爭對手，而且這個競爭對手可能把德國公司擠出市場的。

No, high-speed rail is not a piece of design paper which people can steal.
China has more than 946 patents on various inventions for the development of the high-speed rail. Of course, there are also many patented spare parts or components purchased from other countries for the rail.
China and Germany has strategic partnership agreement on the development of many railway products. In fact, the partnership of CCRC, China and Simens, Germany has metro jointly produced and sold to Brazil and the US.
不，高鐵技術不是可以偷的一張設計圖紙。
中國有超過946項高鐵技術專利
中國和德國在鐵路產品的研發上建立了戰略合作伙伴關係。

Good question. If you claim China stole somebody works, 1st you have to ask the Japanese how do they emulate those technology from the west during 70’s and 80’s. I remember CD player was not invented by Japan, it was a piece of invention by a research team in United States. Japanese took the technology and perfect the prototype and was later sold back to United States. Liquid fuel combustion engine was not invented by Japanese, its was built by American George Brayton. However, Japanese knocked it down, studied the engine inside out and built a more compact fuel efficient engine, which are now flooding the American car market. It is a continuous learning curve for everybody. From emulation to invention. It is a matter of knowledge accumulation, and a process that nobody could escape. I trust China has slightly crossed the 1st stage and moving toward the second stage – machine perfection and subsequently build its own branding. As we know, China is not just hungry for the high speed train, they are ardently looking for other technology as well. Needless to wait long, in given time, China could build a technology empire in the foreseeable future.
問得好。
如果有人說中國偷了技術，那還是先問日本人在70年代和80年代時如何模仿西方技術的。
記得CD播放器不是日本人發明的，而是美國一個研究團隊的發明。
日本拿走這項技術後加以完善，然後把產品賣回到美國去。
液體燃料的內燃機也不是日本人發明的，而是美國 George Brayton造出來的。
然而，日本人通過拆解，把其研究了個透，然後造出一款更緊湊的液體燃料內燃機。
如今，這款內燃機已經席捲了美國汽車市場。
對每個人來說，這是一個持續的學習曲線過程。
從模仿到發明，這是知識積累的過程，是每個人都要經歷的。
我相信中國已經跨過了第一個階段，正朝向機器完善的第二階段邁進，隨後就是打造自己的品牌。
眾所周知，中國不僅渴求高鐵技術，而且也在熱烈追求其他技術。
不用等太久，在可預見的未來，中國也能打造一個技術帝國的。
