Oh wow. I dont think BeiDou Nav Sat System, HarmonyOS, Loongson&Zhaoxin CPUs, high speed Maglev trains (that use homegrown proprietary tech/design/material/engineering), Jinhdong warehouses etc are stolen.

Obviously, there is an argument to be made for how all of the above is based on papers and prototypes that originate in the west. However the same argument also applies to a lot of tech that originates in, say, the US. For example, the US Internet grew out of British packet switching theory(Donald Davies), GPUs rely on parallel computing theories from Japan and Europe etc.
