Copying is one thing. State-sponsored wholesale transfer of trade theft is another. Now, I don't doubt for one second that the US/CIA has not done anything shady like that in the past but I do not believe it has ever been on the scale of effort that China has undertaken. And I say to my own country's detriment - more power to them. While the US fumbles with domestic politics, social justice endeavors, and enriching other countries, China has risen to take its place by taking the opposite stance and focusing all its energy on making itself the foremost global economic giant.
