I remembered reading an article in Wired about 20 years ago, about counterfeit cloth. A premier fabric maker in France said that Chinese cloth wasn't just a counterfeit of theirs, but was actually a superior product.

BYD would easily blow away Tesla as the leading EV maker if they were allowed in the US.

TikTok has proven that not only can China create a world-leading social platform, that users care so little about where it's from that when it was blocked, they flocked to another Chinese social-media option rather than retreat to the "safe" options.

China is even winning in American capitalism, there 70-80% of the goods sold by Walmart and Amazon are from China.

Companies like BambuLab, DJI, and Roborock are proven world-leaders in their categories.

Sticking our head in the sand and pretending that American and Western products are inherently superior is absolutely foolish.
