Nonsense,
For example look at the Chinese EV industry which is dominating every country. Pure hard work and innovation.
[The Chinese] "have already gone full cycle from mandating electric cars to totally scrapping them. They are happy to build them for export, however. They embrace technology must faster than Americans.
On the other hand, China is a surveillance state. If you jaywalk, you will soon find that a fine has been processed from your account. Greater crimes make you disappear pretty fast. It is a very efficient tyranny.
Americans are in for a bitter shock if they underestimate the Chinese."
Hard work stealing and copying
