It's all invented here.

  That's been less true in recent times. Nowadays the factories have moved up in the design chain towards remixing their own designs. There's also more than one hardware startup accelerator that flys founders to shenzen since it's so much more efficient to work locally. And regarding this meta commentary of thinking that China as merely the assemblers of american inventors, remember that this was thought of Japan and korea in the 70s and 80s, which now produce some good quality cars and TVs, respectively. I wonder if engineers at GM or Zenith (last great american TV brand) scoffed and thought the same in 1980.

  No it's not.
