They can say that Chinese working in the US have gone back to innovate. Once all of those get beaten, shot, or arrested China will stop innovating.

Even directly copying a design still takes a lot of human capital, engineering resources, and manufacturing power, as would any derivatives of the original design.
But the tired old trop of "China can't innovate" is a relic of 2010s when U.S. pundits had to find some way to justify China's incredible rise that would be palatable to the U.S. public.

Yeah, my preferred "own" of anyone who comes with this narrative is to ask: if it's so easy to copy, why isn't India, Nigeria or Indonesia doing it? Usually, I get BS answers akin to "well, they have morals and play by the rules" which is of course a stupidly hilarious statement.
I used to be annoyed by this line of reasoning, but now I think China should actually almost encourage it. If the West really thinks that China can't innovate then it means they will chronically underestimate the country, which can only work to China's benefit.

Upgrading of scientific and technological achievements conversion incentives: 70% of state-owned equity can be attributed to scientific researchers
5 years ago (2017-10-16)Abstract: Before 2015, the scientific research team can only account for about 30% of the equity in enterprises with the research results of scientific research institutes, and the remaining 70% belongs to the state-owned scientific research units where the scientific research personnel work. According to the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements", the scientific research team can directly account for 50% of the equity, and if it is leaving the job to start a business, it can also increase to 70%. This has greatly improved the incentives for researchers in scientific research institutes.
According to news from @央TV财经10月15日, the low rate of scientific and technological achievements is an old problem that plagues scientific and technological innovation of scientific research units. Before 2015, the scientific research team can only account for about 30% of the equity in enterprises with the research results of scientific research institutes, and the remaining 70% belongs to the state-owned scientific research units where the scientific research personnel work.
Now, according to the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements", the scientific research team can directly account for 50% of the equity, and if it is leaving the job to start a business, it can also increase to 70%. This has greatly improved the incentives for researchers in scientific research institutes.
According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 1,000 various technology trading markets in my country. In 2016, the national technology contract turnover increased by 15.97% year-on-year to 1,140.7 billion yuan, breaking through the 1 trillion yuan mark for the first time. At the same time, the Ministry of Science and Technology also supported the launch of the construction of a demonstration zone for the transfer and transformation of national scientific and technological achievements, explored replicable and scalable experience and models, and provided support for national policy formulation. The National Guidance Fund for the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements has set up 9 venture capital sub-funds with a total scale of 17.3 billion yuan.
This Tweet and comments from two years ago are gold. They capture Western mentality and attitudes on China and explains why they are being caught flat-footed in these frontier technologies.
Not sure what you mean.
Seems pretty clear to me that that person who made that tweet, lacks imagination, have no knowledge of the industry, and generally does not have a clue at all.
That is ironic because the tweet actually asks out loud, "Am I missing something?"
No, they are not missing something, they are missing everything.
