Is this true? Do they possibly use a loanword or a descriptive term? Certainly you are not implying that the concept of copyright does not actually exist in Chinese society?

For what it's worth, in my language we don't have a word for copyright either. We have the concept, though, we just call it literally Creators Rights זכויות יוצרים and the borders of what is and what isn't covered broadly map to the familiar concepts of IP.

版权

I mean, there is one, they have copyright law. Forgive me for being slow is this a joke about the widespread theft of IP in China? Or was the acquisition of training data just much more 'accepted' in China compared to the west?

I feel I messed up your quip =/ I'm new here, go ez. Not looking for excuses to hate on China either.
