Technology

I think it's actually kind of funny how western propaganda convinced people that China isn't capable of doing anything on its own. The whole notion that there's no innovation, and Chinese are only able to copy what brilliant western minds produce is really deeply ingrained at this point. However, now western leadership is in a panic because they're starting to realize China is overtaking the west technologically, but you can't undo decades of conditioning over night, so it's really hard to get westerners to actually believe it.
