PRC has population of OECD countries combined. That's enough of humanity for indigenous everything. US postwar basically maintained autarky across the tech and production tree with 160-300m people before outshoring / ceding strategic industries to others. When PRC has 3x that much people, they can't not eventually aim for ~100% domestic efforts on needs of satisfying job creation alone, and that's what's been happening since they started pumping out OCED combined in tertiary and skilled talent in the last few years - to do the designed in Califorinia part while holding on to as much of the Made in China part.
