Yes copycat cannot innovate. But Eric Schmidt believe China are no longer copying: """ "I have carried the prejudices about China in my years working with them," he said. "That they're very good at copying things, that they're very good at organising things, that they throw large numbers of people at it. But they're not going to do anything new. They're very, very good at stealing, if you will, our stuff. Those prejudices need to be thrown out. "The Chinese are just as good, and maybe better, in key areas of research and innovation as the West. "They're putting more money into it. They are putting it in a different way, it is state-directed in a way that is different from the West. We need to get our act together to compete." """
