Seriously, this is nothing new. China has been living off US tech for decades now. Virtually every major innovation; including composite technology and electronic chip production and tech,,,just about anything and everything we have done well, they copy, steal OR have some idiot governmental official or greedy corporate manager give it too them.
Then, stupid housewives and spend thrifts, buy “made in china” goods because they can save a buck or two despite the quality of the products or how much destruction it does to our economy.
When you look up China in the dictionary it says, See Cheat, Copy, Steal.
