Yes but all of these companies that do business in China should do so warily. The Chinese are very good at copying then leaving a company holding the bag not to mention the fact that they are notorious about looking the other way on International Copyright law.
And western companies are lusting after the Mao-jacketed market so much that they're willing to give away the keys to the kingdom. For example, China is going to buy airplaces from Boeing. But I guarantee you that somewhere in that contract is a stipulation that Boeing not only build some portion of the planes in China -- but also employ Chinese labor. Meanwhile, the Chinese are ramping up their own manufacturing industries to compete with westerners -- and they'll steal the expertise that they get from Boeing to put into their own products.

Yes that is exactly right.
