lol @ homemade
The last few years maybe. The catchup was definitely not homemade. Just a decade ago they were still stealing western IP for EV tech. Why do you think Tesla was so highly protected by China that if a malfunctioning Tesla killed your family and you talked about it, YOU had to pay TESLA? Not because China wanted everyone to drive Teslas, they needed Tesla manufacturing there to figure out the very few things Tesla actually did well: Battery management, infotainment and drivetrain. Why do you think every chinese EV looks like a Tesla inside, with a giant tablet smack dab in the middle of the interior
Anyone with a brain has known for a long time now that anything you have built in China, you de facto lose the rights to, Chinese companies will copy it and copyright, patents, etc, don't apply to them. In the last few years, it also involves them improving on your design, but that has not always been the case.
