Well that's pretty obvious now that all the technology transfer needed for Chinese companies to catch up have been realised. Realistically though the CCP will want to keep the lead in market where they have crushed the competition with their state sponsored champions; this was the case with photovoltaic panels, and this seems to be the case with their car (computer-on-wheels) manufacturer.
That’s what the now retired leadership wanted though, they got their $10 million paycheck and comfortable retirement in the west, now it’s time for current leadership to clean up.
