> the photocopy culture I used to spout this phrase (or ones like it) back when 校内／人人 used to look like a pixel-perfect clone of FB. But I think China is growing beyond this phase. There are small things (like the touch to talk in iMessage? WeChat/微信 has had that for ages) and bigger things like the emergence of drones - the FAA just recently allowed filming of TV shows but some of China's most popular shows are already filmed almost entirely from drones (i.e. 爸爸去那儿). I think as Westerners it's easy to see what's a clone (because it looks the same) and much harder to see what's not (for us without full fluency) because we can't recognize the innovative ideas everyone else in China may already take for granted.
