    If it was just pure copying the best you could hope for is that you match the performance of your competitor. To exceed their performance genuine investment must be made.

      Name a Chinese company that produces a product that’s best in the world.

      There’s probably some lasers/tech etc but nothing consumer, I would guess.

        Solar panels. Huawei had some very good 5g tech before the US sanctioned them (great performance competitive price). Electric cars from various brands like BYD and, a very good case can be made about deepseek r1 (same performance as o1 but using an order of magnitude less power/cost).

          Can’t comment on deepseek but Huawei and BYD certainly are inferior to other products in their industries. Probably not for long, but it’s still a happenstance I believe.

            Ah yes that’s why America worked super hard to ban them both right.

              Oh I wouldn’t base any decisions off anything America did.

        The commercial drones from DJI are the best in the industry. But also making something that’s almost as performant but for a fraction of the cost requires real innovation as well.

        DeepSeek’s training model was innovative. They used multiple large specialized models to train a very small general model. This is a real practical innovation over OpenAI’s one behemoth general purpose model.

          True, DJI is a top competitor if not the best drones. Good point
