[QUOTE="cartaphilus, post: 1116199, member: 99742"] What people don't realize is not that China does it, it's how they do it. They copy and steal the Intellectual Property and code. I don't know if they did that here or not since I don't know this from Adam. Of course they can provide the "same" looking code since they never developed it. Time and $$$ goes towards R&D and learning via trials and failure how to perform the task. Sure I can grab the recipe and make it identical or nearly identical but what I am missing are the notes, the lessons learned, what it took to make it. Those notes and lessons learned aid in further development of the item. That is what Chinese are missing. That is why they can copy but they can't innovate. Since the innovate potion was never taken since it can't be, that has to be taught, shown and worked through. That is also why if someone were to send today's cell phone technology to let say 1980, not much would change. Sure, the "current" tech would most likely advance by 15% to 20% but it wouldn't be revolutionary. You can't just make the item, you have to learn how to make the item. You have to create the substrate that the item is made from. You can't just suddenly reproduce a 4 nm process during an epoch where the smallest item is in micro scale, you just don't have the know how. [/QUOTE]
