Re: PLAAF general: Poor industrial foundation, lack of innovation in C
They get the Western degree, get a position in a Western company and steal the designs back to China.
That's the ultimate Chinese dream for which they are ready to trample over each other..... in the queues outside Western countries Embassies/Consulates :thumb:
[/QUOTE] Chinese graduates have no innovation or creative thinking = fact.[/QUOTE]
The Chinese know this very well that this is their serious limitation but fear to acknowledge ( typical Chinese evasiveness). That is reason behind putting their entire focus on industrial espionage, massive (govt. sponsored & run) technology pilferage networks, non-existent IP regime & the gigantic focus & resource allocation towards these activities.
Chinese show a religious zeal in performing these duties as they genuinely believe that this is what would enable them to rise. But, when a nation's industrial foundation is kleptomaniac pilferage & simply cost-arbitrage with zero innovation, nil value-add & above all, poorest of quality control, it's anybody's guess how far that can sustain itself, forget competing with anyone.
All major Chinese project be it heavy engineering, infrastructure or transport etc. are carried out by Western MNC's (engineering firms & design consultancies) & their 100% owned localized Subsidiaries ( be it Plan, design, lay-out or implement phase). This is a well-known fact, that have been unable to do anything on that scale within their own country, forget doing it outside.
Then, all their talk about outdoing the West technologically in 40 years.....all Gas & Fizzle. Empty Chinese rhetoric.
