I see all these amazing breakthroughs and revolutions coming out of china, from new battery tech that'll completely upset the auto industry, to power generation revolutions that'll put existing stations out of business, new solar tech that'll make everyone power independent, new storage breakthroughs with subatomic particles and special lasers and crystals, to food that never spoils and anti-aging medicine- but I've never seen a single one marketed. Ever.

in research papers where is notes about obstacles remaining to solve.

Like for that HDD tech - short lifespan of heads.

So until obstacles can be resolved you won't see them

There are lots of overly complicated ways to store data, for instance have a computer write things down on paper with a pencil using a plotter and then reading the data back with an optical scanner when needed. The real question is how this improves on what is currently known to work best. Having one or 2 advantages isn't enough.
Headline: "Husker develops way for computer systems to store data which can be read without computers or electricity"

Agreed. Will file this research in the same place as the immortality chamber and personal teleporter.

So many things we now take for granted now were the results of 30-40 years of research eg OLEDS were invented in the late 1980s and took another 20+ years to eventuate in panels using the tech. Almost nothing is an overnight miracle. This technology sounds amazing, even if it won't be ready for a long time. I wonder how it compares to using DNA for data storage.

But China is already disrupting the auto industry mostly because of their pioneering battery tech, lead solar development (even if it's not that dramatic of a lead) and all the rest is more proof of concept rather than market-ready technology.

this is still at a concept stage -- I note that they did not say that they have a working prototype device even one with a lifetime of 1 hour
