Except this is the Chinese patent system, not the American one. Both systems are broken, but in entirely different (and opposite) ways.

What do you mean? Could you please highlight the attributes of the Chinese patent system?

I'm interested that you and others on here so badly want this to be about the patent system you know and hate that you completely miss that it's China's patent system. It has far more of a problem with both laxity and corruption than over-enforcement.
