Chinese have a good grasp of add-on innovation. Give a base product and they'll pad it with all manner of features to make it a very marketable product. Look at DJI's action camera's, drones, etc. I'm not even going to touch on the age old conflict in combating apparel clones in China town.

I have a feeling its going to be very difficult to cage this kind of innovation unless there is a recurrent policy in place to periodically ban the import of a wide range of Chinese products.

On the other hand there are lots of super smart Chinese students in top tier colleges who also make salient contribution to research work that benefits us in one way or the other.

The bigger question is how do we resolve both markets to mutually benefit from sunken R&D as opposed to how we starve consumers because of slow paced tinkering refinements when the other party can speed the product to market.
