- henry700 1y agoIt's what I think too, BUT curiously is not the case for China. Imagine if the DeepSeek breakthroughs were patented and closed instead of published in the open. And here we are, and they're not patented and not built on patented technology.

Ahead in production. Did China research/innovate/develop those industries, or were they 'just' fast followers?
