I’m not sure whether it was Leica or Zeiss, but a good 100 years ago German optics engineers transferred a good deal of know-how to the Japanese...well, we all know how that turned out.
The motives of the Chinese today are so obviously similar that it boggles the mind anyone would fall for it. Short term profit for long term destruction? Yeah, now there’s a smart move...

Interestingly enough, today Panasonic uses Leica lenses and Sony's are made by Carl Zeiss.
