This is a statling revelation but judging by the "woke" culture and Snowflake ideals pushed by U.S enemies into America, coupled with poor leadership for 30 year, I suppose one shouldn't be surprised. Rest assured, China will far more aggressively defend their I.P and patents than America did.
American companies handed over the keys to the technology that American minds and taxpayer dollars often financed at some point or another. Politicians gave others special trading status. Treason in many respects, but politicians and businesses were too busy looking for angles to make money off of others misery. The road back to the Ol' US of A, is a steep climb now.
China has a government brimming with engineers and hard sciences disciplines. They confront and erase corruption within their ranks. Western leaders are often the least impressive in school, but they talk a good game while lining their pockets via horrible policies and positions that make no sense to the average citizen. Few if any are ever held to account.
Chinese isn't interested in excessively funding and rewarding low performers. They are interested in finding their best talent and prospering from them, not trying to prop up someone who lacks ability or effort, not looking for racism in math and programming languages. These are concepts which the West is aware of via pro sports, the best make the big money, somehow scholastics and technology should be different?
We should still hold out hope that America can recover, but with so many profit pimps and traitorous companies, many are limited and even banned in the nation they helped build; it's not looking good.
