It's gibberish but in essence true.
The Chinese are the thieving magpies of IP - they will get their hands on a product, be it patented or not, and copy and market it PDQ.
When working for Maxview Ltd a few years ago our mechanical engineer produced a new and innovative design for a fold-flat TV set-top aerial. We sent the first ones to B+Q to go on sale. 2 Weeks later he went to a trade show in China - his aerial (or rather a pretty perfect copy) was on 3 stalls...

Whatever the version of a Chinese copycat is called, they have a million of them. It is their speciality, you rarely see any products invented and developed in China.

Most of those were hundreds of years ago.
As soon as the Chinese encountered othr cultures, they began copying - and still do.
"Security experts will tell you that mainland Chinese don't fear personal reputation risk when committing fraud. And in a perverse way, Chinese employers value new employees who possess foreign intellectual property even if it is stolen.
Copying and reverse engineering accelerated new product launches, but eroded China's competitiveness. Stealing intellectual property has enormously benefited Chinese companies. But, it has crippled their ability to develop the next version or innovate.
Just look at almost every important technological innovation in hardware, software, and the internet. Without sounding arrogant or imperialistic, they are with few exceptions to made in America. "
