We quit giving them all our tech and they never have another tech advance.
It’s all our work given to them.
I remember when the USMC was publicly pissed at Obama for giving away 5G tech to the Chinese because that was the same tech that the USMC had used for their lateral unit comms for distributed operations.
Having spent time in China and I still regularly watch Chinese TV, I can say China has surpassed the U.S. technologically, especially in the area of consumer technology. China is now basically a cashless society, everything is done on your smartphone. The downside is the government knows everything you are doing, and with a press of a button can mess your life up (sorry, you don’t have privileges to buy airline tickets any more, etc.).

While some is given, they steal most a lot of IP. They have no regard for the law. And their network of spies have been on American soil for decades with many becoming American citizens.
About a decade ago, I was negotiating a manufacturing deal for a small American company, and they really wanted the tech and wanted us to really open it up to them. Also, they demanded the rights to all of Asia. No way, we went with Flex.
I know of a small company in Iowa that had devices made in China, and they stole the IP and manufactured and sold them on the cheap, and the Iowa company went out of business.
But, what is interesting, they will copy stuff down to the physical defects.
