In what way does it being recognized by a factory employee mean the design was stolen? Just because iPhones are manufactured in China, does that mean Apple stole the design?
Is it really news to you that China doesn't respect Western intellectual property?

You completely missed the point. Just because China often violates IP doesn't necessarily mean they did in this case. MANY MANY things are made in China by Western companies. Home Depot and Harbor Freight design tools in-house and have them made in China. Just because a factory worker in China recognizes a tool sold by Home Depot doesn't mean the design was stolen.
