I worked at an IBM daughter company at that time, now 30+yrs using IBM hard and software.

Cool!

Lenovo is the chinese company that bought the IBM PC division.

I know originally "Legend" I believe because I still have an old Thinkpad from the same year that they purchased the IBM division.

I am as curious as 'Freshmeat' to learn what patents they did steal. I hope those who accuse Oppo (or is it envy or hatred because they are Chinese?) will come forward with hard facts.

Have Lenovo laptop.

Yeah, we all know Lenova was purchase by a Chinese company. Exactly, how a Chinese company is trying to purchase certain Toshiba-based companies like chips and nuclear. All backed by the Chinese government.

The biggest problem with most Chinese copies whether they are phones, buildings, or toys is that they are putting consumers at risk all over the world.

Have ZTE and OnePlus phones. Have Lenovo laptop. All great and working nicely.

But, as they say, haters gonna hate.

They are infamous for stealing Classified Military plans, and making their stuff the same way they're doing this.

Oppo DVD players were one of the early ones to easily bypass region-protection

If Oppo are eyeing the West market, won't they be vulnerable to lawsuits in the European and American courts for patent infringements? Surely they are not protected out of China? By the way, I'm curious what patents did they steal to incur such wrath from the commenters above.

Its not hard to become top of the product market in China - steal technology off other countries get the government to impose barriers on overseas competitors.

Michael Jordan basketball shoes! Is there no end to Chinese perfidy? I can see how this could make a person angry on the internet; I'm starting to feel a little ticked off about it myself.

Also Chinese copyists are turning their attention away from domestic goods to entire buildings such as hotels. Literally replicating hotels that are around the world, in China, but very cheaply.

It's a disgrace! How dare the Chinese copy what Japan has been doing since the 1950s! And not just Japan either. Other countries have done it too. It's an outrage! Someone should do something!

Apple’s products have been pirated the world over, China has pointed out, but only China has opened entirely fake Apple stores filled with employees who think they work for the U.S. company.

Even the name is rip-off ("Oppo" = "Apple" ). That's how Chinese speakers of English would pronounce it!

I also remember years back when Nike and Jordan was suing a company that copied the Air Jordan symbol of Michael Jordan dunking a basketball. Like expected, the chinese government obviously sided with their Chinese company.

More like collusion with the Chinese government! This has been China's plan all along. Steal patents ftom foreign countries and copy their intellectual property. Put up barriers and limitations on the market until their domestic businesses can catch up with financial and legal backing of the government. Finally, they will kick the foreign companies out or make it so undesirable that they leave on their own.
