"Patents are territorial and must be filed in each country where protection is sought.
Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in other countries must apply for a patent in each of the other countries or in regional patent offices. Almost every country has its own patent law, and a person desiring a patent in a particular country must make an application for patent in that country, in accordance with the requirements of that country."
A patent in the USA provides protection in the USA only. A patent in a foreign country provides protection in that country only. Selling a patent granted by China has no effect upon the same technology for which a patent has been granted in the USA. The Chinese patent does not grant a right to produce that technology for sale in the USA when patent protection for that technology exists in the USA.
