And you forgot made in china quality. So don't worry
That is a very selective way of looking at things. There are many high tech industries that China is on par or better than anyone else, especially in high tech. Smart phones, network equipment,tablets and PCs (Lenovo is chinese don't forget) and way ahead of western companies in EVs and associated tech. BYD, Great Wall Motors and others make Tesla look like a flinstone scooter that those cars are...I own a model X and it is a great example of a car that is made to be disposable before it comes off the lot
 
"home grown" is that slang for "we bought some machines and tech from ASML or had employees there steal the IP to make our own"
Another one of those XXXX thinking 1.4 billion ppl in China are brain dead incapable of innovating. I've travelled to and seen inside several universities in Nanjing and Beijing, the quality of their equipment and the research they do rivaled and in some cases surpasses their peers in AMERICA (MIT, Princeton, CalTech, etc.). So you're telling me all the research they do is a waste that doesn't come to fruition? If there's anyone who knows best not to waste $$$, it's the Chinese. They want result in their investment. Simple logic will tell you, all these research won't get funded if they hadn't produced some promising results.
Stealing IP lol, that's just some fantasy excuses certain class of people have used when others surpasses them in the arena. Some people like you believes China took a time machine and stole IPs that doesn't even exists yet in the US.

ASML is forbidden from selling their tech to China, and China has the engineering talent to make domestic lithography given time. See how they dominate EV, batteries, solar, and now even AI, they have better performing AI models that's even cheaper training compute cost than 4o/o1, plus open sourced.

Do not mistake volume manufacturing of low cost versions of items invented outside of China for “dominance”. BYD, NIO, etc. are having a lot of trouble selling their cars in Europe and North America because there are higher quality EV manufacturers already in those markets. Batteries wise, Korea and Japan hold the crown for quality lithium battery cells…I have Samsung 18650 cells that are still usable today after 500+ charges, whereas all the different Chinese cells I’ve procured hold about half the advertised charge and become unusable after at most 200 charges. Although Chinese solar panels are cheaper, their lifespan has been verified to be 2-4x shorter and 50-60% of the efficiency of quality US or German panels. Deepseek AI has actually been shown to be inferior to US AI’s, and I’ll remind you that Deepseek was built using American technology. I’m not saying this to downplay Chinese contributions to the world, but to claim dominance when China only has 2 of the 3 requirements (IE: Price and Volume, But not quality) is premature.

This thing about China only producing low quality stuff got old some time ago. People need to wake up to the fact that the Chinese internal market has grown tremendously. There's a large market with money to buy expensive stuff and Chinese products have been competing on quality with western ones for some time now.
