I didn&#x27;t mean to suggest Chinese people can&#x27;t do engineering or research, and in fact &#x27;the west&#x27; here is a shorthand for &#x27;traditional IP ecosystem&#x27; that properly includes Taiwan&#x2F;Korea&#x2F;Japan.<p>What I meant is if you&#x27;re going to compare IP ecosystems you need to be honest. The &quot;Chinese network IP ecosystem&quot; is not a closed loop as the diagram suggests but is heavily subsidized by innovations from outside of that system.
