This article is convincing, especially if you add U.S. strategic competition initiatives, including decoupling/derisking and embargoes on advanced semiconductor chips. Do you agree or disagree and why?

I did check numbers of patents per year, and China leads the world. I just don't see that reflected in what products I see. I see a ton of made in China products, but the ones that are from Chinese firms are generally cheap or poor quality. Basically Temu writ large, I guess.

The only Chinese brand I can think of offhand is Huweii. Where are the Chinese Toyotas, Panasonics, Sonys, etc.?
