This is my primary take re: advancements like TikTok as well. Everybody I know keeps going on and on about how great the TikTok algorithm is, and you can't really say they stole that from some other place because it handily beats them all. China has rampant academic abuse but some universities like Tsinghua are churning out top-tier engineers. I feel like long-term the US's best bet is to be more open to skilled Chinese immigrants working in the US, because I have no doubts that elite Chinese engineers would jump ship for much higher pay and more freedom.
