    China has hypersonic missiles, usa does not. They don’t need to copy, because their stuff is better.

      They probably don’t NEED to steal/copy to develop tech, but they still do. And not because their tech is better.

      Exactly, China leads in lots of areas. 5G tech, quantum communication, bullet trains, nuclear power, just to name a few. People who keep claiming that China is just stealing and copying western tech are just ignorant racists.

        The examples you choose, yogi.

        • The US is leading China in all quantum fields except quantum communications if you consider putting already-developed tech(by the US) into a satellite a “lead”. Is that what you mean?

        • Maglev trains developed by Britain, Japan and Germany, yes what a technical coup for the CCP.

        • Nuclear power? This false claim makes no sense. The US is way ahead technologically of everyone else and lots of European countries have had working nuclear power plants for decades.
