The Chinese are very good at copying things but are short on the engineering wherewithall to create on their own. They are a newly industrialized country so naturally their growth rate is high, but that growth is on the backs of outside technology. Their economy is not transparent, it is a closed book, and is only what they profess it to be which may not be true.

While I can admire them with one ot the oldest contiguous cultures I must wonder at their backwardness at having industrialized only in the late twentieth century.
