Absolutely. Am I making any error (either of fact, or of reasoning) in believing I myself to be a better human being than the Chinese? I'm genuinely curious.
It's not if the target of complain is a Chinese company. A mistake people often make in moral reasoning is to assume that it's only qualitative, descriptive aspects of an action (ie excluding such things as who did it, whom was it done to, etc) that is relevant to how they should be assessed morally
"extent" is irrelevant in this context because we are not comparing individual people but groups, and China has a much larger population than other countries. The real problem is not quantity but quality. IP theft done by better human beings is perfectly justifiable.
But you are only comparing what is outwardly done and neglecting the motivations, the human factor. Our founding fathers were good people, their hearts were in the right place. The Chinese are bad people, we can all agree with that. Identical actions can still be morally different because they proceed from different motives.

I don't think this is quite enough to push people over the ledge. If what killed half my family is someone who does not try to justify his actions morally, someone who I can therefore morally compare to a tiger or bear, I wouldn't strap on a bomb belt. But if the killer tries to tell the world he's eradicating evil, and the world high five with them, ...
Why not just kill those children and friends then, since we have reasonable expectation that they will become radicalized? We already extensively kill the family and children of terrorists
