China isn't pioneering the technology. They aren't operating in a vacuum. They won't have to wait 20 years to make it all work.

Sure, it probably wont take then as long, but its still misleading to portray "China reaches milestone a western company did a quarter of a century ago" as being equivalent to catching up.
