Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said one his GOP rivals isn't telling the whole truth about his record standing up for American firms against the Chinese.
"Ted Cruz was counsel on record for a Chinese company that stole an invention from an American inventor in Florida," Rubio said. "Here you have someone who goes around talking tough about China, but he leaves out the fact that when China stole an American inventor's product, he stood with the Chinese."
"That is a fact," Rubio said.
We decided to check it out.
The case
The case in question involved a man named Jordan Fishman, the CEO of Alpha Mining Systems, a Florida-based specialty tire company.
In 2009, he sued a Chinese tire manufacturer, Shandong Linglong Rubber Co., in U.S. District Court, in Virginia, accusing them of stealing blueprints and violating his copyright.
Fishman won the suit and was awarded $26 million in damages in 2010, according to federal court records.
But the Chinese company appealed and hired the Washington D.C. law firm Morgan, Lewis and Bockius, where Cruz was a partner.
Federal court records list R. Ted Cruz as one of the lawyers representing the Chinese firm.

The question is genuine. Practice what you preach.
“The question is genuine.”
Quit lying. You aren’t good at it.
His father thought he, at age 13, had rejected him and his heritage. It seems logical to me.
Oh the ironic hypocrisy coming from a Cruz supporter ..., the holier than thou Puritans ...
“Oh the ironic hypocrisy coming from a Cruz supporter”
At least you didn’t deny it this time. So there’s a start.
I already wrote "the question is genuine" and it stands. Rafael's father considered it a personal rejection of himself and his heritage. That seems logical for a boy of thirteen.
“I already wrote “the question is genuine” and it stands”
I already told you you’re not a very good liar, and that stand too.
Are you evangelical like Rafael Edward Cruz ?
“Are you evangelical like Rafael Edward Cruz ?”
I’m not religious. Not sure what it has to do with anything though.
Raphael (Raph) - The team's bad boy, Raphael wears a dark red mask and wields a pair of sai. He is physically very strong, has an aggressive nature, and seldom hesitates to throw the first punch. He is often depicted with a very pronounced New York accent. His personality can be fierce and sarcastic, and oftentimes delivers deadpan humor. He is intensely loyal to his brothers and sensei. He is named after the Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, Raphael.Great painter namesake, but following the path of his TMNT namesake would make for a very confusing primary. We'd have, personality wise, two Trumps. I don't think FR could take that.
LOL, so if Trump is Raphael then I guess Cruz is Leonardo...
Leonardo (Leo) â The tactical, courageous leader and devoted student of his sensei, Leonardo wears a blue mask and wields two katana. As the most conscientious of the four, he often bears the burden of responsibility for his brothers, which commonly leads to conflict with Raphael.
