It's crazy how the global powers have handed China so much power as a result of their insatiable greed. China was hardly a concern 40 years ago, but 4 decades of manufacturing and stealing literally everyone's IP have given them resources they didn't have access to before.
China didn't have to steal anything, the west handed them all of our trade and engineering secrets on a silver platter just to boost their profit margins.
Well yes, under contract that they don't copy it, but that's not how China works.
Twenty years ago they were still basically nothing.
