Hahahahahhahahahahaa please tell us you don’t think China gives a flying fuck about stealing IP.

Best thing you can do is keep your patent quiet and make your money as fast as you can before someone steals it. I can absolutely guarantee that if you sent a good idea to China for manufacture there is a mirror of it being sold in every market you can’t reach already, and it will enter all your target markets as soon as your IP is diluted fat enough to have no value in court.
